I believe

I believe... 

there's beautiful people in this world, 

with beautiful stories to tell, 

beautiful smile to share. 

Share a moment, 

share your knowledge, 

share your tears, 

share a hug,

share a song, 

share a kiss,

shout out loud,

sing to the wind. 

Get to the top of -your- mountain and just: 

lay down on the grass, look back down the hill, 

put your sunglasses on and just… smile. You made it.

I believe... 

we can… we can "emancipate ourselves from mental slavery", 

be free of mind, of heart, of thought, free of spirit. 

Be who you are and don't leave anything inside. Take it all out! 

Think outside the box, don't be afraid,

we don't have to be afraid: live without fear

and for once… say what you really want to say.

I believe...

In life we each pursue happiness, each in our own way.

Don't follow dictionaries. ¨Happiness¨ is what -you- define as ¨happiness¨.

If you think your rainy day never ends in this life, 

try dancing in the rain for a chance,

then you'll know happiness is not a point we have to get to… it's a way of travelling.

I believe...

We all have a heaven and a hell, right here on earth.

Recognize your heaven, hold it tight, don't let go.

Never underestimate your hell or others' hell,

as we're all playing the same game and living the same hell, 

just different rules… different devils.

I believe...

Life is not about always doing things right… try, fail, learn, change, enjoy.

Listen to your inner animal and challenge reasoning for a while.

Don't worry if things don't go the way you want them to go

because… it's just the way it's supposed to be.

Don't try for other people to loose what you've so hardly seek-for

after all… you wouldn't let it go if it were yours.

I believe... 

You shouldn't go too fast in life,

stop once in a while… take a breath, look around you, 

beautiful things are happening, 

beautiful people surround you... don't miss 'em.

Remember… "there is no re-play button in life".

I believe...

All the important luggage, you have to carry for the rest of this journey, 

fits right inside your thoughts… no need for ¨carry-on luggage¨. 

Specially 'cause people travel by your side… not inside your luggage.

Drop the excess baggage, the journey is long, 

burdens do not let you look forward,

… forgive, forget, let go… decide what and who is essential and that never let go.

I believe... 

a smile can move people, a fist can't.

This world is one, there are no boundaries.

VISAS... why they exist, I wonder? if we all belong to the same world.

No colors, no political boundaries, no black nor white… try gray for a chance.

Languages… just different ways of saying the same thing… don't let these break us apart. 

A smile can say more than a thousand dictionaries.

Racism, hate, lust, war… they all bring sadness, loneliness, tears, emptiness.

Why should we encourage them in our hearts?

I believe...

It's true… "it is too late for pessimism",

but it’s not too late to change. 

We can still change our course,

we can still change our consumption pattern,

we can still stop the climate change,

we can recycle back what we’ve used,

we can still stop the environmental disaster we've caused,

we can stop our dependence on oil and make the transition to renewable energy,

we can stop over-consuming and depleting the Earth's resources,

we still have a choice. 

Our Earth cannot bear it no more.

I am guilty, we all are... and it’s up to us to decide what happens next.

We cannot forget what's at stake: the earth… our HOME.

I believe... 

we can… we can make this world a better place for us all.

Challenge paradigms. Fight the windmills. Jump!

and... Don't fear the end,

as it is the best gift you could have gotten: "the ability to die",

'cause for that… you had to have lived.

At the end...

there is only one right answer... "love", 

there is only one rule... "live and let live", 

there is only one justification and disclaimer for your actions... "honesty",

there is only one way to do things... "the one that moves you". 

Sing… as if everyone was listening,

love… as if your heart had been broken many times,

smile… after having cried, it's the only way to know the difference,

dance… even if you're the only one that can hear the music,

dream… for that beautiful tomorrow you'll build,

learn… every day, as long as your time allows you to do so,

believe… as if every day, the world screams you shouldn't do so.

Feel with your heart, with your mind, with your soul. 

Enjoy the ride, the journey is long, this life is yours.

We'll be ok. Everything is as it should be.

I believe... in you and me. 

… now… the only question is... Do you believe?
