Yes brothers, Happiness!!
I've got a lot, and I want to share with you... lately I've been having a lot of experiences with human beings...interactions that are teaching a lot about human nature... and, after intense reading of the "Wear Sunscreen" poem , I will share some of the things I've lived in these last days...
First, and foremost, eat a lot of cereals on a daily basis and drink a lot of fresh water... it will make good to your over all health and happiness... eating more fruits and vegetables and less industrialized food makes you happier...
In the morning, take a time to stretch, smell the fresh air and watch the sunrise... Feel it's warm getting to you and the fresh air filling you up with energy... if you can't understand the beauty of this, then please, do me a favor, stop reading.
Talking about understanding the beauty, understand the beauty of children, who play, cry, sing, laugh and scream like crazy... yes, they are crazy... and so were you... and that's a craziness you don't suffer, it's one that you enjoy every minute of it...
When we grow, they teach us to be mature, which means boring, sad, depressed and lonely... don't let the spark of that craziness ever fade away...
Talk to older people... talk to people who are making things happen in the background and you don't even think about...
This means the bus driver, the doorman, the security guy from your school... they all come from places far away from yours and they all lead lifes that you can't even imagine... and you can learn more about life with them in 30 minutes than in school for 12 years...
They see the youth, and remember of their own youth times... and they remember the things they wish they knew, and try to warn us... even knowing that we'll not understand...
Understand... understand people... understand that some love you but can't express it in the way you prefer, and also understand that some people will never love you in any conceivable way... just don't waste your time with those... or waste, but always learn your lesson...
Don't be afraid of having a heart, of liking people, loving people and being happy and sad and broken... just don't use your heart as a Hate Warehouse... it was made to hold love and happiness... whereas the other feelings get into your blood until you execrate them...
Do something new everyday...even if it is taking a different bus, or eating something you never did before... you're bound to have nice surprises...
Don't expect much from people... thinking better... don't expect anything from people... just let things flow and be happy with the surprises... If you honestly talk to people not wanting anything back from them, the whole universe conspires for you...
Have naive, silly and honest fun with people... laugh with them, make them laugh, learn how to make people laugh with the masters... that gives you a serenity and a feeling of fulfillment that is close to a blessing... it's a gift from above...
Learn to understand and love your family... you're nothing but the concretization of their love and their dreams... Isn't that a tremendous honor??
This couple spent months, or even years just thinking about you, making sure that everything was perfect for you?? Be grateful and make the happy, by being happy and nice to them...
Be careful with other people's heart... they're so worried about letting you come in touch with them, so you must not let them down... respect their hearts and make them feel happier !!
Happiness is a gift that increases when shared... instead of saving it for you, share with the others... it is like a fire that will fade quickly if you don't use it to light as many torches as you can...
Be determined, and live for your dreams... Scream, fight, run...
Feel the strength of the determination that drives us to succed in your bones... Go for that feeling and allow it to help you do your best in sports, in social life and in bussiness life...
Dance, dance and sing a lot... don't be a stupid metalhead, listen to music that make you dance and dance... dance is a gift to the mankind... the gift of letting all the differences apart, and be happy in a delicious activity...dancing releases endorphines... dancing makes you happier and healthier... listen to music that makes you want to dance !!
Understand that both passion and hate, lust and boredom, happiness and sadness aren't lasting... they'll come and go, in waves... ever growing waves...
But learn that small happiness like dogs or getting the ball for the kids are things that make you feel serene... and serenity is greater than happiness and sadness... Hunt happiness, but walk always with serenity...
Old people are serene... they know that their time is gone... their lessons were learned... so they find joy in things like sunrises, fresh air, the moon, the stars, couples walking hand-in-hand, kids running around...
Friends... make many friends... make effords to have real friends, and to be a friend... friends will teach you how to be patient... and in exchange for the hard times of learning it, they'll give you attention...they'll care for you and make your serenity come back.
Smile, a smile attracts people like a beautiful flower attracts bees...
A smile is the speak of the soul... you can't fake, and even if you fake it, it's better than nothing you know??
Look to people... give them attention, they want to be noticed, they do a lot of things thinking more about other people than theirselves... tell them that their hair looks great and their new piercing is awesome...
Listen to people... just as you... sometimes they just want to be understood... they want to share what they're going through... listen without expecting to be listened... one day, when you really really need to be listened, you'll be...
Hug, hug a lot of people... hug your sister, your brother and all of your friends... a hug makes you feel human... and make other people happy...
Kiss, kiss people in the cheek, when they're you friends, and when you love them, kiss them in the lips.. show your love without words...
Don't do things expecting the same in reward...do them, and don't expect people to do anything for you...because when you really really need... you'll receive...
Some people exist, some people survive, some live
And some are remembered forever... they mark the life of the people and the places they pass in a way that everybody smiles when they think of you... and that is priceless... that is why we all live for...
Be like a comet, that lights everything on it's path, to disappear, and go light other places... and like all the comets, someday you'll comeback, and the beauty of you fire will already be legendary.
Don't exist, don't survive, don't live...
Make it unforgettable... time's to short not to be made unforgettable...
And I leave now, desiring you a lot of love and affection, happiness and serenity in your lives...
Sincerely, from this motherf*cker who really really loves you
