A lot could be extracted in retrospect. Much to do about spirituality, physiological training, the arts and dance, teaching myself to speak and understand portuguese, diving into love and sexuality, broadening definitions of beauty, adapting to a culture without ever fitting in, and above all, eradicating my ego... or the attempt...
These parts of Brazil are important. They are the pillars of my life.
The greatest contribution a person makes to humanity is equal to the greatest contribution a person makes to oneself. Some contributions radiate and emanate love. The idea is to make the contributions that matter to you most, both sustainable movements and grand gestures.
Reminiscing about my life in Brazil helps remind me of the frame for stepping into my contributions and growth in the here and now. I want to do great things the right way, without sacrificing whatever it is that makes me who I am. I erected the pillars of my life a long time ago and I intend on keeping them with me no matter where I am.
1. All that you do must be done from the heart
2. The destination is only great because it sets you on the journey
3. Love, beauty and money are inside of you, born of you, fluid and malleable
4. You are limitless forms dancing within constructs that can be rearranged at your will to fit where you're at.
5. No dream is too big to manifest in reality
7. Practice decisive action with as little hesitation as possible
8. Look in the direction where you are moving
9. Go
10. Listen
