About Jorge
Denver Voyage
I was Featured on in their "Inspiring conversations" series. Read the Full article:
My life has been a series of deliberate decisions made in pursuit of one goal: to become the best version of myself. For both Issa and Aristotle, one truth stands out: the journey is what matters most.
Aristotle argued that eudaimonia is the ultimate human aim, and that achieving it requires action—it is something we do, not something we possess. Importantly, he believed there is no single prescription for eudaimonia; each individual must determine what kind of life, and which consistent activities, constitute flourishing for them.
​The haiku conveys a similar idea. It advises us to choose the greatest goal we can imagine—symbolized by Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak—and pursue it in our own way symbolized by the first “slowly.” The second “slowly” is a reminder to embrace the journey, not rush through it. The journey plays two roles, it reveals whether we are worthy of the goal and it also shapes us into people worthy of it.
Take, for instance, the psychologist. He chooses to become one—a goal rooted in purpose. But he must undergo academic and personal hardships along the way. He is tested, again and again, to determine whether he is worthy of that title. Yet it is not just the final credential that defines him—it is the becoming, the daily struggle, and the growth it demands.
The journey you choose will be shaped by who you are and who you wish to become. The obstacles you face are not just challenges—they are chances to prove, to yourself and others, that you are the kind of person worthy of the goal you pursue.
