Thoughts on travel

Place: Laie Hawaii !

Traveling does good to everyone! it opens your eyes, streaches your soul and gives you skills that can save your life. While traveling you will find yourself in the middle of nowhere trying to guess the next step of your life. You will heasitate, and you will be more insecure than ever. In that moment, you will let it all go-because you will have no other choice . It is then, that you magically find your way, you learn what you want. and you know yourself better !
you have to do it ! you have to travel.

NOt the Perfect grl but my perfect girl !

Place: Laie Hawaii!

How many hours do people spend thinking about the “right person”? I don’t even want to know. One thing is certain: everybody needs love regardless of whether or not people admit it. So how is love found? For sure through family and friends - but it all comes down to the moment when we need a little more. Yes, the truth is family and friends are not enough, we are designed to love someone romantically. We need it. And once you feel that type of romantic love, oh boy you are going to find yourself doing the most ridiculous things to be able to hold on to that feeling. It is an infinite feeling that warms your heart and steals smiles from you by the second. Who can do that? Anyone? Pfff I wish, only a few people can do that to your heart! Some people will love you with all their heart and no matter what you do you won’t be able to give that love back. Some people will make you feel crazy and they will never know they do (it sucks, but it’s true). I believe - and you can call me old fashioned, or a romantic or whatever - but I believe that love is pretty magical; you feel it and you know it. Yes there is adaptation, acceptance and many other things, but the original strong feeling that instills within you certainty must exist. If that feeling doesn’t exist there may be something wrong! I have traveled a little bit and have had the chance to meet people from all over the world. Getting to know these people has helped me understand there are some basic things that I need to have in life in order to be happy. I have learned that my wife needs to share some of my own qualities, because how can you live with someone who does not love what you love the most? I mean yes, differences are good, but similarities are better! Look at your friends, you don’t chill with the people that complete you, rather you mingle with those who are very much like you. Hot surfers chill with hot surfers and nerds with nerds. It is the natural law of attraction; and yes, there are many exceptions, but that is all they are, exceptions.

So while thinking about this I made a list of qualities that I would like my wife to have, or to love! Alright it’s not really a list of requirements, but it would be cool!

• I want to build my own house so I need my wife to support me in that!
• I want to live close to a water source like a river, lake, or an ocean.
• I want to be close enough to a place with no lights around so I can see the stars!
• I want to eat Indian curry with my wife! Is not fun to eat the dish you love w/someone who hates it!
• I want someone who loves languages! Spanish, English and German! My life is tied to these!
• I want someone who would love to travel the rest of the world with me!
• I want a girl who can talk with her eyes!
• I need someone who loves the Lord more than me!
• I need someone who is dreamer, and that has no limits!
• I need someone who I can talk to, someone who would defy my thoughts daily!
• I need someone who wants to help people, because I am sure I’ll spend much of my life doing so!
• I need someone who wants to have more than 3 babies!
• I need someone who feels as much as I do, but someone who can manage their feelings!
• I need peace and love at home!
• I love freckles!
• I love olive oil! Can we cook everything with it?
• I love lips!
• I love free spirits!
• I love simple actions but complicated thoughts!
• I love fire, and the smell of it! I would love to smell fire in my wife's hair!
• I love nature! Like camping and stuff! I would die being at home all the time!
• I want to fish with my kids! I guess I need a wife who can handle me killing fishes!
• I need a wife who lets me watch soccer once on a while!

I will keep updating this list :)

Late nights in Mexico !

Place: Queretaro, Mexico

What does it take to be the man that I ought to be? How many nights do I have to stare at the sky and let my thoughts dry out my heart and mind? What is it that makes some people so different from others? I know people are different and that not everybody wants the same things, but come on, most of us want to travel, or want a nice house, a nice job, or cars and things. Yes, all these are material things. Well, let’s say for a moment that you want a happy family. What does it take to have a happy family? Food? Clothes? Love? What is love? Is it just a feeling? Or is it how much you give? Can love feed a child? Yes it can! How? Love makes you wake up everyday and work to have money to feed your family! Maybe it’s time to understand the place of things in our lives. How many people say: “Hey! I don’t need money, I have quality time with my father!” Cool!! Well I am sure that father was not working 17-hour shifts to make a living! I’m sorry I don’t mean this disrespectfully. My argument is that there is a point where money, love, work, and family all intersect, and that point is hard to find. We humans are so good at doing one thing very well, and when we find comfort and even success, we conform. It is that moment when creativity and risk starts to leave us. That moment in time is when we need to wake up and do something! Yahoo, you are so good at whatever! So what? Are you super man now? NOPE, you are not!! Now is the time to do that! You know what I mean? THAT! That something else that you are not so good at! Challenge yourself and use the assets you have to create new ones! This thought made me think about perfection and creation. Perfection is just a combination of individual perfections to different laws on this earth! For example, if you worthily pay your tithing, it means you are perfect in that law! And guess what? Perfection follows perfection and one good thing precedes another! And this is what we all ought to strive for: to find a balance in life and to understand our place and the purpose of all things we have around us! I am here to become perfect in the smallest things ever and that will attract perfection in other things until every man and myself has fulfilled the purpose of our creation!
