I give advice that I do not have for myself.
Avoiding the previous sentence is my maxim, I do what I say, and I say what I do, to do otherwise would be to betray myself.
My life is not perfect, there is no perfect life, but if there is something that helps me on a daily basis is discipline and leading a life as spartan as possible, it may not be the best life in the world, but it allows me to stay mentally stable.
I am not the nicest man in the world either, because I say things that people don't want to hear, or I do things that in the eyes of "normal" people are not "normal", I break social conventions frequently and I am not sociable at all, simply because I consider myself free and because I am very aware that I am going to die, I am not going to live a life of pleasing others when my existence is ephemeral.
I have not always been like this, I was "normal" at one time, but the blows change you, I stopped wanting to be "normal" a long time ago. I consider myself a soldier of life, a survivor, I have to live with the past to build a better future for those I love.
Discipline and putting all your enthusiasm and passion into whatever you do may not be the recipe for success, but it is the recipe for building a better world.
And Rock and roll!
