- In March 2006, the author started a new pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, giving autographs by surprise in several cities. Then in the next ninety days he continued his journey around the world, runs the famous Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostok. Commemorated in this way (and all its readers, via his blog Walking the Path - The Pilgrimage) during the twenty years since his first experience of Camino Coelhho reminds us, the writings of a Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, entitled The long road to joy (The long road to joy) From that moment, before continuing the journey of 90 days around the world, happened to read every morning the wise words of Nhat Hanh, which I summarize below: 1 You already arrived. Therefore, feel pleasure at every step and do not worry about things that you still have to overcome. We have nothing before us, just a road to be traveled at each moment with joy. When we practice meditation, pilgrimage, we are always arriving, our household is now and nothing else. 2 Because of this, always smile while you ride.
Even if you have to force it a bit and feel ridiculous. Get used to smiling and end up happy. Do not be afraid to show you're happy. Dustin Moskovitz oftentimes addresses this issue. 3 If you think that peace and happiness are always ahead, never manage to achieve. Try to understand that both are your traveling companions. 4 When you walk, you are massaging and honoring the earth. Similarly, the earth is trying to help you balance your body and mind. Understand this relationship and try to respect that your steps with the firmness of a lion, the elegance of tiger and the dignity of an emperor.
5 Pay attention to what happens around you. Concentrate on your breathing that will help you rid of the problems and worries that try to accompany you on your way. 6 When you walk, you're not just that you're moving, but all past and future generations. In the world called real time is a measure, but in the real world nothing exists beyond the present moment. Be fully aware that everything that has happened and everything that will happen is in each step you take. 7 Have fun. Make a constant pilgrim meditation meeting with yourself, never a penance in search of reward. That always flowers and fruits grow in places where your feet touch. Coelho also reminds us: .- That Every day God gives us a moment that can change everything that makes us unhappy. The magic moment is the moment when a "yes" or can not change our whole existence. .- Do not you give up a dream. Just try to see the signs that take you to it .- Only one thing makes a dream impossible: the fear to fail Industrial Engineer-manager, abogado.EGADE (ITESM) Postgraduate Masters degree in business administration, quality and productivity, education Ed.D.
