To those who have given up on love,

I say, trust life a little bit. No matter what someone tells you there is a person out there that is meant to wake up next to you every morning.

 If you're always looking for reasons not to be with somebody, well you'll always find them, and I guess at some point you should let go and give your heart what it deserves. You can close your eyes from the things you don’t want to see but you can never close your heart from the things you don’t feel. Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep people away, but to see who cares enough to tear those walls down.

As we grow up… We learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your hear broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll  break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast. And you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt. Because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect, it just means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections. And sometimes we focus so intensely on our destination that we miss out on the beauty of the journey. Happiness is a journey not a destination.

It's what the junkie needs that the needle can't give; the oppressed and forgotten are praying for it. It's what the brave courageous are fighting for, an open sail on a distant shore. Freedom.

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

And when the last tree falls, when the last river is polluted & when there is not a breath of clean air left, people will realize you can't eat money.

Stand by what you believe in, even if you're standing alone, the few that stand alone are the ones that make a difference. Believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see. Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming the, is what makes life meaningful. So stop existing and start living.

If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. Here are some ideas to get you started: Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessl...

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...

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...
