No culpes a nadie (Pablo Neruda) | Amor y Desamor
Titulo: No culpes a nadie Autor: Pablo Neruda (Poeta Chileno, 1904-1973) Nunca te quejes de nadie, ni de nada, porque fundamentalmente tu has hecho lo que querías en tu vida. Acepta la dificultad de edificarte a ti mismo y el valor de empezar corrigiéndote. El triunfo del verdadero hombre surge de las cenizas de su error. Nunca te quejes de tu soledad o de tu suerte, enfréntala con valor y acéptala. No te amargues de tu propio fracaso ni se lo cargues a otro, acéptate ahora o seguirás justificándote como un niño. No olvides que la causa de tu presente es tu pasado así como la causa de tu futuro será tu presente. Aprende de los audaces, de los fuertes, de quien no acepta situaciones, de quien vivirá a pesar de todo, piensa menos en tus problemas y más en tu trabajo y tus problemas sin eliminarlos morirán. Levántate y mira el sol por las mañanas y respira la luz del amanecer. Fuente Original: Pablo Neruda.
5 Timeless Books of Insight on Fear and the Creative Process
by Maria Popova From Monet to Tiger Woods, or why creating rituals and breaking routines don’t have to be conflicting notions. “Creativity is like chasing chickens,” Christoph Niemann once said. But sometimes it can feel like being chased by chickens — giant, angry, menacing chickens. Whether you’re a writer, designer, artist or maker of anything in any medium, you know the creative process can be plagued by fear, often so paralyzing it makes it hard to actually create. Despite our best-argued cases for incremental innovation and creativity via hard work, the myth of the genius and the muse perseveres in how we think about great artists. In the ideal — that is to say, real — artist, fears not only continue to exist, they exist side by side with the desires that complement them, perhaps drive them, certainly feed them. Steven Pressfield is a prolific champion of the creative process, with all its trials and tribulations. Are you paralyzed with fear? Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr
Famous Writers’ Sleep Habits vs. Literary Productivity, Visualized
by Maria Popova The early bird gets the Pulitzer … sort of. “In both writing and sleeping,” Stephen King observed in his excellent meditation on the art of “creative sleep” and wakeful dreaming, “we learn to be physically still at the same time we are encouraging our minds to unlock from the humdrum rational thinking of our daytime lives.” Over the years, in my endless fascination with daily routines, I found myself especially intrigued by successful writers’ sleep habits — after all, it’s been argued that “sleep is the best (and easiest) creative aphrodisiac” and science tells us that it impacts everything from our moods to our brain development to our every waking moment. I found myself wondering whether there might be a correlation between sleep habits and literary productivity. First, I handed them my notes on writers’ wake-up times, amassed over years of reading biographies, interviews, journals, and other materials.

New Year's Resolution Reading List: 9 Essential Books on Reading and Writing
by Maria Popova Dancing with the absurdity of life, or what symbolism has to do with the osmosis of trash and treasure. Hardly anything does one’s mental, spiritual, and creative health more good than resolving to read more and write better. Today’s reading list addresses these parallel aspirations. If anyone can make grammar fun, it’s Maira Kalman — The Elements of Style Illustrated marries Kalman’s signature whimsy with Strunk and White’s indispensable style guide to create an instant classic. The original Elements of Style was published in 1919 in-house at Cornell University for teaching use and reprinted in 1959 to become cultural canon, and Kalman’s inimitable version is one of our 10 favorite masterpieces of graphic nonfiction.

Poesía de Walt Whitman
“Toda la teoría del universo está dirigida a un solo individuo: a ti” Surgirá un nuevo orden y sus hombres serán los sacerdotes del hombre, y cada hombre será su propio sacerdote. No dejes que termine el día sin haber crecido un poco, sin haber sido feliz, sin haber aumentado tus sueños. Versión de: Leandro Wolfson ¿Qué soy, después de todo, más que un niño complacido con el sonido de mi propio nombre? También para ti tu nombre: ¿Pensaste que en tu nombre no había otra cosa que más de dos o tres inflexiones? Con el reflujo del océano de la vida " (...) He oído lo que decían los charlatanes sobre el principio y el fin, Pero yo no hablo del principio y del fin. ¿Quién anda por ahí anhelante, místico desnudo? Cosmos Hojas de hierba (fragmento) Y tú, mar... ¿Que yo me contradigo?
How to Find Your Purpose and Do What You Love
“Find something more important than you are,” philosopher Dan Dennett once said in discussing the secret of happiness, “and dedicate your life to it.” But how, exactly, do we find that? Surely, it isn’t by luck. I myself am a firm believer in the power of curiosity and choice as the engine of fulfillment, but precisely how you arrive at your true calling is an intricate and highly individual dance of discovery. Still, there are certain factors — certain choices — that make it easier. Every few months, I rediscover and redevour Y-Combinator founder Paul Graham’s fantastic 2006 article, How to Do What You Love. What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. More of Graham’s wisdom on how to find meaning and make wealth can be found in Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age. Alain de Botton, modern philosopher and creator of the “literary self-help genre”, is a keen observer of the paradoxes and delusions of our cultural conceits.
