T.R.U.E.: The Road You Enjoy
Brazil, São Paulo
Living a life completely is a matter of focus, total physical and mental motivation. Not coincidentally, a meaningful life is achieved through four steps:
I – Follow your heart above all things. Follow it regardless of what your head or the one of others says. Just keep in mind that intuition does not imply selfishness. Respect to the world and creatures at expense of the ego is necessary and crucial. It´s called Humility;
II – Find out what really makes you enjoy life. You´ll know you found it when you give up your “freedom” in support of this goal, the all-natural way. This can be a number of things, of various kinds: love, family, nature, work, money, trips, people, food, sports, arts, religions, God, History, the Future… Life;
III – Found it? Fight for it. Fight mainly against yourself because your ego will place the greatest impediments to live what you settled. The biggest one: raise your courage to abandon all you have in favor to achieve The All you´re going to be;
IV – Can´t find it? Many never will. Yet, never stop the journey, make the Quest the goal itself. Live for the simple fact of living. Use your Freedom wisely, not forgetting of Humility. The major responsibility for all you are, or will be, is yours alone;
The latter is the road we are. This path, the most arduous and painful, the most attractive and exciting. Maybe it´ll not bring the happiness you seek, but it is the surest way to reach something not so glamorous: peace… what is most noble and rare, because happiness, though euphoric, is ephemeral itself, while peace definitive.
But we go further, we are sateless. Where we wanna go, you might wonder. At the junction of the two virtues, definitive euphoria. For peace without happiness is serenity, while the opposite is fullness.
