You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won’t mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever…. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.

One thing I’ve learned about life is that it will always bring you to a crossroad, where you’re supposed to leave one path for another. In order to achieve something you wish for, you’d have to sacrifice on something else that’s precious to you. That’s life.

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful.

Commitment

notorious-advisory:

There is a difference between interest and Commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it, only when it is convenient. when you are committed to something, you accept no excuses, only Results.  

It always amazes me how many people are trapped in their own lives. They dream of going out and seeing the world, of doing things they love, of meeting the people that will change their lives. But they are too scared to. Don’t be so heavily entrenched in the miserable routine that is your mediocre life. If you want something, go and take it. If you’re not happy with the people in your life or the job you have or the food you eat, change it. Change it all. Don’t live a life dictated by the amount of money you earn. Have the courage and determination to follow your heart and watch dreams and reality collide.

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability, or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

Paul Coelho (via oktoberlyons)

A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints
