"But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song" (C. Martin)

Never thought of what would you do if today was your last day on Earth? Too occupied meeting deadlines and worried enough planning paradise for our future, we decline doing self-criticism, just in case we find we don´t like the picture we´ve been painting through past times until today, thinking undoubtedly we were doing THE right thing.

Well, the accuracy that this argument reaches isn´t high enough, as the most preoccupying fact relies on that we actually don´t even think, undoubtedly or not, on what we´re doing with our life. We get used to, since being happy kids, doing what everybody else does, without questioning it is good, convenient or, even more critical, it is what we really want do to. We´ve never been taught to choose what we truly want to do during the period between birth and death we spent here among more living beings. We unnaturally assume that what surrounds us has the answer, the route that will magically lead us, lead us, lead us where?

Here is the second point I´d like to make. If we have never asked ourselves where we want to get, it is not improbable, but almost impossible to get somewhere. No expensive education, nor good friends or big plans are worth for that personal trip everyone should enjoy since birth.

Paradise only exists to those ones who are brave enough to ask themselves, without searching for external approval, what they want to receive for themselves within their period alive. Asking one-self what he or she wants to do today in the described way means going against the establishment. Means feeling an amazing freedom inside heart. Means being truly human, against the humachine culture. Means waking up sometimes in not a very cheer mood but forgetting it in a matter of seconds just figuring that our efforts are worth because we are fighting for what we ourselves, without following any clichés, have decided to pursue.

The use of the power to choose our destination inevitably leads us to enjoy each part of the trip. So, if you are on the side of the braves, your answer, almost for sure, to the question posed at the beginning would be to continue doing your life. And this is, no doubt, real paradise.
