About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be happy

ABOUT ME

Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.

Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the
quietest chambers, that the mind can never break off from the journey.
- Pat Conroy

La vida no es para esperarla, es para vivirla.

La vida es un gran baile, y el mundo es un salón...

"All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act out their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”

PHILOSOPHY

makes much more sense to live in the present tense
