1) “Living up to other people´s expectations”

My point of view on this topic is that you really need to know yourself, and know what you want; analyze your dreams and be realistic, built strategies to achieve it. Sometimes other people have your life planned because they think it is the best for you, but also, sometimes they are not thinking about your personal success, only your economically or laborally success. They might love you and worry about you, but they are not you, they have their own lives and so you do, everyone has the right of giving it a shot in what they want, everyone has to fall and stand up in order to live; so, why not fall the way you want? Why not live the way you want? And be brave and stand straight on what your dreams are no matter how rough it gets because the biggest dreams are the hardest to accomplish and also the ones that have the most beautiful finish line.

2) “Carpe Diem- Seize the day”

I think that to seize the day doesn’t mean to do decisions on the moment knowing there will be bad consequences. And even though I agree not to overthink too much and live I think carpe diem should be to make the most out of your life according to your main goals and your definition of happiness.

3) "Words and ideas can change the world"

Words and ideas have revolutionized the world throughout history. And I believe that with words that seem simple but are powerful you can change someone´s perspective and purpose on life. That´s why I also think sharing your positive perspective on life is very important because you sometimes don’t realize that with sharing them you can help someone live an extraordinary life.

4) "When you think you know everything there is to know... change your perspective, change your point of view"

Knowledge is infinite, we met so many people throughout our lives that have millions of points of view, theories, and belief, all important to someone. And the fun thing about life is that you never stop learning, but you need to allow yourself to let that knowledge in, to expand your horizons and that doesn’t mean you have to stop believing in what you believe, just that you see it from other point, who knows? you might like it better that way.

5) Write a line you would like people to use to describe you when you are gone (for example in your obituary).

She worked hard, loved harder and lived to the fullest. Surrounded herself with great people and had an imperfect perfect life.
