We need to normalize having wild dreams. As adults, we must keep believing that life can be whatever we choose it to be. We have to stop confusing ‘stupid realism’ with maturity.

Sometimes I doubt. But when I face fear of the unknown, I remind myself: I’d rather live with the temporary uncertainty of not knowing where I’m going than settle into the comfort of standing still.

From time to time, I let my ‘evil’ voice speak to me while I’m training. It gets one shot—one chance to dare me to finish that last rep I think I can’t do. Then, I play to prove it wrong. And I wonder… is that voice really evil after all?

I’m doing a project that involve some public exposure using social media that I’m don’t known if I can keep it through time - I’m don’t even known if I want it -, is it a wasted of time?

You can do everything you set your mind to—just not all at once. This is definitely something I repeat myself often.

Life’s lessons are never fully mastered. Acknowledging our own complexity is an important step, but we are bound to put intention into each day to ensure that life doesn’t just happen to us—we have to actively live it.

This weekend I will be hosting a Crossfit event, I'm pretty excited about it. It has been always a pleasure of mine to talk in front of people and cheer people out. It will be definitely an interesting experience, getting paid for a different skillset this weekend.

I came across this quote on a recent trip to Sicily: ‘I put only my talent into my work; I put all my genius into my life.’ I loved it instantly. It speaks to the complexity and intention it takes to simply exist—to live deliberately. Work doesn’t define you; it’s just one part…

TIL. There is a javascript library that allows to stemming or lemmatizing verbs (e.g., "walking" → "walk"). github.com/NaturalNode/na… This is specially convenient for a challenge I'm facing creating slugs.

I began to feel at peace when I stopped searching for what I wanted it to be and started embracing it for what it is.

Expectations are always a source of pain, especially when they are self-imposed to satisfy the image others have of us—one we don’t want to let down. And yet, can we truly live without expectations?

There will always be two voices in my head: the reasonable one and the unreasonable one. I acknowledge them both. I’ve fed the reasonable one far more, yet I’ve learned to live with the words of the unreasonable.
