The Pursuit of Happiness: 15 Lessons to Keep in Mind

1. The only person that can ever truly make you happy is yourself. Stop depending on everyone else.
2. People lie, stuff happens. Don’t take it too personally.
3. Want people to think you’re amazing? Start believing you are, and then they will too.
4. Smiling is the ultimate anti-depressant. Smile and laugh out loud, it doesn’t look stupid, I promise.
5. The world is never just black and white, right or wrong, one way or another. Try and see things from as many points of view as possible.
6. "Let everything happen to you; beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final."
7. Have empathy.
8. Gossip, problems of the past, events you cannot control, negative thoughts and negative people; time spent on these is time poorly wasted.
9. When you're jealous or find yourself filled with hate for someone/something, stop. The only person its hurting is you.
10. Although the newest, most expensive material things may make you feel as if you’re a better person, they won’t hold you at night or listen to you when you need it. Make sure your priorities make sense.
11. Step outside your comfort zone- it’s when you’ll really feel alive.
12. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, the people who really matter, don’t mind
13. Let your emotions out sometimes, humans have them for a reason.
14. Celebrate the things you have. Think only positively of the things you don’t (but would like to have) and they too will come.
15. Love unconditionally ♥.

Cinco meses después...

Cinco meses después de salir de mi país, aun extraño todo en la misma medida. Todo lo no material. Cinco meses después de haber vivido en Medellín, asumí el reto. Cinco meses después comprendí lo que es vivir el día a día. No esperé nada del día siguiente, con poco salí a diario con mi mejor cara, a atender cada cliente con todo lo que tenía y más. Dediqué mis días no solo a vender sino a escuchar. A diario escuchaba historias de cada uno de mis clientes, de todo tipo de historias. Cada uno dejaba algo de ellos dentro de mí. Si pudiese plasmar en una foto cada una de sus caras, no dudaría en hacerlo. Cada uno merece su puesto. Desde el niño pequeño con una incansable alegría, con el que hablaba de cosas que sólo los niños saben mirar. Hasta el señor con el que no hablaba pero veía a diario llegar a su casa, desgastado, cansado y quizá un poco desesperanzado. De observar y hablar con la gente aprendí mucho, quizás más de lo que hubiese a...

Freedom

Once upon a time, there was this little girl; she had blue hair and white eyes. People just called her The Girl. She loved to pour water over a big ants farm. Almost all the ants hated when this happen, except one young ant called Freedom. He loved to ride the waves created by the pouring water of The Girl. All the friends of Freedom told him that this was pretty dangerous, that he was too impulsive and needed to stop doing it before it was too late. The time passed by and Freedom disappeared from the farm. His friends started a search. One day, freedom’s girlfriend went to his favorite place to ride, hoping to find her boy. She saw a old ant sitting down in a rock and asked him if he know something about Freedom. He told her “There was once an ant called Freedom that became unstuck in the world. He took the wind for a map. He took the sky for a clock and set off with no destination. He was never lost.” They never look for him anymore.
