Change the world - You might die trying.

House MD

I love that tv series, the main character reminds me of myself -although probably that is what everyone says, I really mean it, although that might be what everybody is really saying-, but today is not a day to talk about the t.v. series, is to talk about music, and the messages music send to us. A Dave Matthews song was playing on the back of the series and I decided that I wanted to listen to it, so I went to a website to read the lyrics, and hear the song, message might change from one to another, but what really amazed me where this words.

If you give, you begin to live
If you give, you change the world,
You might die trying.

Change the world, it is my mission, what I seek, one person at a time, one situation after other, I have created a person who's devoted to this task, because I believe on it.
I probably sound foolish, but then again one of my heroes said: Stay hunger, stay foolish. -Steve Jobs-

I just did not know how to change the world. Thanks Dave, for sharing such words in your lyrics. Cause, if we are gonna die anyway -and everyone is going to eventually- why not to share and give while we are still alive. We can change the world by giving, start with one step.

I saw a man today.

Weeks ago a friend of mine came to my house to live for a while, he is a mess and I do hate that cause I am a mess myself, however, given the fact of my mission, and the power of the lord, we are through all the uncomfortable moments. When he first came to live with me I knew he needed help, and I knew I could provide such help, nevertheless I was blinded by the second enemy of knowledge, and I was trying o help him with my autobiography, placing him in all the imaginable situations I have been, later he told me, I am not you. That statement made me realize my mistake, I wanted to help him but I did not know how to.


Months passed by and after reading through the book of Dr. Stephen Covey I started to apply some principles on our last night conversation, empathic listening, I did want to comprehend him, so it did happen. Hi finally found his way into his life, the place where hope has been hiding all this dark years, he was reborn, then I knew that is probably the first and last thing I could have done for him. Help him find him very self.

I showed him how to look in his eyes.
I showed him how to look in the eyes of others.
I showed him how to tell other from himself.

But probably that is a lie, probably I just was blessed with one of the most enriching experiences of my life: A man sharing his progress in the quest of himself.

Alex, welcome to the rest of your life.

Best Regards,

Integrity. Meaning and thoughts of it.

- I write to help my self. Yes, I know that sounds selfish, but please do not misunderstand me, writing is an activity that helps connecting both hemispheres in our brain. I write to understand my mind. My very own self. -

I decided to start with that quote 'cause the very own definition of the word of today's post.

Integrity: The quality of being honest and have strong moral principles.
Integrity: The estate of being a whole and undivided.
Integrity: From latin "integritas", from "integer", intact.

Dr. Stephen R. Covey stated in "The 7 Habits of highly effective people" that it is not the environment and the conditions we experiment what determines the way we see the life. It is our way to accept such things. The way we see them.

In other words, there is no power but God able to affect you. Not the misery, not sickness, not poverty, not slavery, not a divorce or the death of one we love. It is how you take the particular event. Only you can save you, only you can change you, an therefore you, and only you can destroy yourself.

Adios, Adios, Msn Spaces

IT IS TOUGH TO SAY GOOD BYE

Back in 2006, I created my MSN Spaces cause I saw that MySpace was going straight to hell, with that much garbage being published by so many people, I do understand that we are all trying to make a way to success, but as one of my many behavior directives says. Our freedom ends where others begin. Then I tought it MySpace would not be the best place to be. Nowadays, I am forced to say good bye, my love good bye.



Something has happend to MSN Spaces that just doesn't seem right anymore, so here I am, making my first personal post on BlogSpot.


I do not belieave there is going to be so much activity in this particular blog, given to the fact that I do not plan on posting as much as I do plan on posting on my side projects. Nevertheless, from time to time, I will come here to through some ideas into the web, later they shall return and face me up. They will ask me if I am still the same. At some extent they help me to keep myself real.
