Life is not measured by how many times you breathe but by the moments that leave you breathless.

Life is like a train, with its passengers, its stations and its breakdowns. Let’s live this journey in good company and with a lot of love.

They are those moments that leave you frozen. In which you have to contain your words. That leave you stunned. That you live intensely. That take your breath away.

These are moments in which your life changes., in which you close your eyes and know that you have something to live for. That it has happened to you and that they pinch you, because it is not true that this is real.

That It’s not a dream, you’ve achieved it, which has been worth it. I don’t care if some call it luck, others will call it perseverance. But you will always remember it as the moment that left you speechless because the train of your life changed direction at that very moment.

Life is made of moments

It is for those moments that you consider whether living your life sensibly is worth it or, on the contrary, you are trapping yourself. The platform has nothing more to offer you, don’t let yourself die and get on your train.

Relax and make mistakes, don’t try to be perfect. Take things less seriously. Take more risks, travel more. Climb mountains, swim rivers. Go places you’ve never been before. Live more, worry less.

Don’t burden your life with a survival kit and take the opportunity to dye each day of your life with the greatest possible intensity. Immerse yourself, live intensely and enjoy your labored breathing.

“Life is a play that does not allow rehearsals. Therefore, sing, laugh, dance, cry and live intensely every moment of your life before the curtain falls and the play ends without applause.”

-Charles Chaplin-
