Motivacional, ou tipo isso

"Se correndo com os que iam a pé te cansaram, como contenderás com os que vão a cavalos? E se em terras de paz não estavas seguro, como farás na floresta do Jordão?" (Jeremias 12:5)

Um desabafo...

Bons filmes já nos ensinaram: às vezes, quando planejamos uma coisa, acontece outra melhor do que esperávamos. 
Eu sei que fiz uma lista de metas para o ano de 2014 que está guardada aos cuidados de mamãe. Sei que fingi ao longo do ano de que não me lembrava delas, para ignorá-las, sem levá-las muito a sério. É claro que eu ainda pretendo realizar algumas delas, e outras, que eu descumpri e não tem mais volta, posso tentar ainda dar uma amenizada. É só que de repente, agora (ah, o velho "outrora agora"), me pareceu bastante irrelevante ter a meta de não tomar refrigerante o ano inteiro (coisa que eu fiz em quantidade não ignorável). Não que agora eu me sinta no direito de beber refrigerante quando eu bem quiser. Eu nem sou tão fã assim. É só aquela coisa, de você ir a um lugar e ser a única coisa que servem (sim, porque eu também não sou uma pessoa que bebe álcool. Para falar a verdade, eu sou bem quadradinha).
Eu sei que estou ganhando a fama de chata. Eu sei que é muito fácil as pessoas começarem a reclamar, quiçá por inveja, quando eu acho que deveria caber admiração. Mas as pessoas, em geral, não são tão amistosas assim. Basta ver alguém numa situação melhor e logo já começam a querer puxá-la para baixo.
Eu não vou mentir, não tenho vergonha de ficar postando no facebook e em outras redes sociais sobre meus êxitos, minhas atividades físicas matinais, de admitir que acordo cedo para conseguir dar conta de tudo que espero do meu dia. Vão me chamar de chata, de "certinha", que seja. Estou fazendo por mim e por mais ninguém. Eu gosto de ir dormir com a sensação de que fiz minha parte, de que eu passei o dia, e não de que o dia passou por mim. Simples assim. E se vale a pena ser a vida inteira assim? Olha, eu sinceramente, não sei. O que sei é que a vida é feita de dias. "Mas e os momentos?", podem me perguntar. Ora, eu sei que no final das contas são os bons momentos que fazem da nossa vida maravilhosa. Mas eu não vejo porque não caibam momentos inesquecíveis numa rotina de disciplina. E, de verdade, vai, eu posso parecer mais quadrada do que realmente sou. Ninguém é de ferro, eu tenho meus baixos, eu tenho preguiça, eu tenho falta de concentração, tenho fome, insônia. É só que eu não vou perder todas as vezes pra essas coisas tão normais.

50 questions that will free your mind

I don't actually remember if I'd already answered it. Anyway, if I did, I'm sure it's been at least a year ago. And things change. So, here I am, while I still have some free time, to put things clear for me (and for anyone who cares reading it).
The quiz is from Marc and Angel Hack Life
Let's get it started!

These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.

01. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? At least 40. Yeah, I'm a lady.
02. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying.
03. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? I believe we're not really "designed" to live life as it would end the very next day. Pity
04. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? You wanna know why I don't speak out loud my thoughts? I know not everything will be accomplished.
05. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Love
06. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Reading books on the bed with my beloved one.
07. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? I don't see why can't we do both in life.
08. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? No, not really.
09. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? I believed I did a great deal. The rest was luck.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Doing things right. I'm not imune to criticism, you see?
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? I'm the kind of person who always see the bright side of everything. Surely I'd make some observations about why I don't agree with them.
12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Life is not easy, but I promise it is worth it. For about 1 bad person you find, there will be at least 3 nice ones.
13. Would you break the law to save a loved one? Yes.
14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? Not really. I'm more like the one who always see creativity.
15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? I don't forget the little things they do for me and am eternally grateful of them.
16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? It's a right of everyman.
17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? Travel with my love too see the world. Money, and maybe him. Haha.
18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? No.
19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? England. I like their weird way. Haha
20. Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? That's kind of a stupid thing, huh?
21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? A worried genius.
22. Why are you, you? Because I wouldn't stand being someone else.
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I'm not a really good friend, I think.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? #2
25. What are you most grateful for? To have met the love of my life before my 25s.
26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Tough one. Maybe never be able to make new ones. But both sucks.
27. Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? Sometimes...
28. Has your greatest fear ever come true? No, thanks God.
29. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? Yes, but I couldn't care less.
30. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? Playing with my young brother and my neighbour. We were all so innocent and used to be good companies.

34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? Many times.
35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? Love can be a very dangerous thing when not receiving it back. But I think it's because people are simply stupid and selfish.
36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? I believe so...

41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? My love.
42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? Not at all.
43. What is the difference between being alive and truly living? Survivor x Taking part
44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? Don't ask me. I've always done things not calculating risks and rewards. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's not. But, c'est la vie.
