la vida

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Again from the Steve Jobs commencement speech....but this is a one of the major themes, or changes, i took away from my time in Latin America. I think my time with the bulls had something to do with it...but whatever happened, its given me a new way to look at life.
