“Make A Radical Change In Your Lifestyle And Begin To Boldly Do Things Which You May Previously Never

“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”

— Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

“She practices being herself every day. Having to shed the layers of other identities took time. She even lost friendships. She couldn’t fill their egos anymore. When you focus on yourself, and love yourself, some relationships have to go.”

La forma más pura de amor es la consideración. Cuando alguien piensa en cómo te harían sentir las cosas. Presta atención al detalle. Te tiene en cuenta al tomar decisiones que podrían afectarte. En cualquier vínculo, lo mucho que se preocupan por ti se puede encontrar en lo mucho que te consideran

“El golpe es duro para quién empezó siendo poco creyente en el ‘amor’. El golpe es duro para quién de un incrédulo pasó a ser lo contrario, a entregar todo y esperarlo, sacrificándolo todo a dejarse llevar e ir contra sus creencias… el golpe es duro para quién volvió a creer para ser fuertemente decepcionado.”

In general, people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual's life energy. Humans connect with humans. Hiding one's humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting.
