My mistake was to trust on something so capitalistic

[bowarrowandwill]

I am not gonna look at you anymore.

I am not gonna search for you anymore.

I am gonna take this lightly.

I am gonna take this freely.

Because I work on freedom and joy, and you work on pressure and fear.

Change

It's a recurrent feeling that always comes. Even in situations that were once thought of being the good scenario. The reason is the drive buried just under the skin... something I had lost. To change, this time, means to let go of some necessary things to give up space for the things that will soon come.

I had learned to locate my intuition and have felt it's power. Now, it's telling me it's time.

The Missing Piece

As clues, I only had the symptoms. As motivation, I only had the goal. Before, everything I would do had some preparation, with enough room to improvise without loosing control and still having the adrenaline of outdoing myself. The lessons I've learned were not isolated parts of the persona, but fragments that, together, becomes the big, ever growing, person and personality. To be sure of the goal, visualize the path that is not completely clear and do the once thought impossible achievement is the next step.

It's been a long time seeking The Missing Piece. It's hard to acquire something you don't know what it is, but, somehow had it deep within you for most of your life.

Remind yourself of your spirit.

[uservik]

Remember, remember the Fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605 he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them.

The Dreams

The challenge proves to be the transition between dream and reality: to dream of a road and then making it reality and walking on it.

It wasn't always that challenging. We lived times when we had a dream and there was no fear of any kind holding us back. But then, one day, I couldn't meet one goal and the rest of my life got stuck. 

Now, years later, I seem to be finding the ways of making dreams happen again, but I struggle like a baby learning to walk. I have seen failure, danced with it, slept with it and lived the life it wanted me to live. All of this to come to the realization that I cannot stop doing and, for that, I cannot stop dreaming.

How am I expecting change if I don't move myself?

And we're back to that place again. Much has happened and now we're wiser than before, but, what is the worth of such wisdom if I don't apply it?

It seems like an easy choice: to do or not to do. The problem is, however, on the weight it charges.

Do I want to spend so long on something that has given me nothing since I first started it?

[bowarrowandwill]

A choice

It all starts with a choice. To put yourself first or to prioritize someone or something else, you must look into a mirror and say "yes" or "this can wait".

No Gifts For You This Year

You wear me down. You take me off. You use me as an excuse for your failures, saying that I’m your holy saint who will bring salvation down upon you. I will bring the salvation you seek, but I can’t say it will be for you.

“Se você estiver ocupado demais para me ligar, eu vou entender. Se você não tiver tempo para me mandar mensagens, eu vou entender. Se você tiver fazendo algo mais importante e não puder me ver, eu vou entender. Se você fingir que não está nem ai pros meus sentimentos e continuar me ignorando, eu vou entender. Se você continuar desperdiçando seu tempo de vida com coisas fúteis, eu vou entender. Mas se eu parar de te procurar, aí é a sua vez de me entender.”

Evil

I've met with evil today, for the first time.

For the first time, I felt how it is like to do something bad, even if this something is for a good cause.

The consequences can only be predicted. No certain future lies for me ahead.

I could fail. I could succeed. No matter the outcome, someone's gonna get badly hurt.

Have I done the right thing? Or have I doomed myself again?

The Hill

To reach the top of the hill requires great sacrifice.

It requires the will to do whatever it takes, to trust on yourself enough to let go of the past and live the present while thinking of the future.

To reach the top of the hill requires skill and knowledge.

It requires you to better yourself. Money can only get you so far. What makes the top of the hill worth the climb is how well you can maintain yourself in constant upgrade mode. 

I once thought I had reached the top of the hill.

I could see the other hills I could climb, but kept on slipping every time I tried to.

I was never at the top of this hill.

Breathe

In...

Get knowledge from your surroundings. Take in all it’s little details and will. Mega perspective.

Out...

Let the noise out. Don’t accumulate. Out is a slow lane, but cleaning is good for thought.

In...

Get a cleaner version. More real. More useful.

Out...

Let the weakness out. Let the strength in. 

STRIKE!

The Comfort

It disguises itself of many things. Sometimes, it's an eccentric desire, in other occasions, it's the person we care about the most. It is whatever get's to our core without many efforts. Comfort's sole purpose is to destroy the remarkable spirit that makes the impossible happen. “You're nothing. Everything you do means nothing to the world. Why would you even leave home?”

The Hunter

Preparation and strategy, my friend, is everything in this wilderness.
