Today I write to you that some time in life had the will some day to head out walking without a path only to clear your head or enjoy a good view, or to those who know to change their route a bit.
You are going to say that this never happened to you???? Ahhh, Of course it has.
How many times have you ditched your plans and ended up doing this???? You took your bicycle or even walked and went out to be somewhere else. I myself have done this many times for I lived in a costal city and from time to time when I took my bike on Sunday afternoon just to go and return without destination only to relax.
This is very good for it throws out our routine and gives us a sensation of freedom for there does not exist anything pressing us. The mind is emptying itself of problems and filling itself with healthiness. And you even feel like Indiana Jones, himself, total adventurer, playing that you are crossing America. What a magnificent sensation, even indescribable.
And then you begin to dream: “Imagining that you would be going to another country and to live various adventures that are going to stay with you for the rest of your life?”
Travel, like the world, know various countries, circle the globe. This is the spirit of a true (what we say in Portuguese) mochileiro, I am certain that this exists inside of you.
If you seek in Wikipedia the definition of a mochileiro, you are going to encounter a curious description: Generally, mochileiros are youth and/or students that with little money, want to know the world without spending much.
Am I speaking to you???? To know the world without spending a lot???? #Dream. Know that this is possible. The voyage begins with your decision and after you run behind the rest. If you can dream it is because you can realize. Believe in your dreams,fight run, do all for them. I am certain that you are capable. St. Teresa taught us. “God would not inspire in me unattainable desires, therefore, I can despite my smallness aspire to holiness.” God does not leave you to dream impossible dreams. God wants you to realize them one after another.
A youth who stops dreaming is a frustrated adult inside. Youth: this is the time to dream and seek each dream.
Who knows the people may find themselves on another planet (or perhaps in JMJ Rio 2013)!!! Gather your luggage and stand in the road enjoy the life of the mochileiro and being happy.
Onward
