Faith

I was talking to a friend about that notion of what is right or wrong in life.

See, his father just passed and his mother asked him and his sister to come home. She lives in one city about 800km away from the capital in Brazil and wants Daniel and Larissa back to run the company that his father owned.

The thing is, he was in one of the best colleges in the country, an Brazilian Ivy League, if I may say. His sister just finished college and was about to get a great job, and he was in a great internship, and well, over night everything changed and he decided to move back. The fear is that it could be the wrong decision of his life, that it will change everything.

And I was just thinking, what is right or wrong anyways? What makes a decision worth it? I’ve always believed that passion and talent aren’t wasted.

That if you’re passionate enough and you work hard enough for what you want, it will eventually pay off.

That no matter the decision we decide to make in life, we can’t go back, but we can find a road that will intersect with the way we want. The path can be harder, but we will eventually make it.

I do believe that right decision are just right, that are the wrong ones that we remember, that we have to learn. And we will learn, one way or another, everybody does.

I believe in destiny like a series of paths, and we can chose which ones we will take, that life is the journey and you have to want something bad enough to be able to enjoy every sunshine and even every drop of rain, every thunder.

That when we have a problem we can’t solve, there is no problem at all. When something is really bad, the solution is think five years ahead, if is still important we can really worry.

I mostly believe in life, in faith and people. That without an open heart dreams can’t float. I believe that with a truly open heart, sometimes it will be broken, but when we are finally able to take all the pieces, it will be beautiful, in a way that could never be before.
