Special Thanks

As in the previous book, I wanted to thank all the people, animals, beings and things that have motivated me and inspired me to carry out all sort of madness across my life.

To all the ones who even in a small measure inspired me to keep going in the path of peace and freedom and to all those who accept me with the complete package I’m. To those ones who teach me with respect how to become my best possible me every day.

To all those ones who always will be in my thoughts and heart, thank you.

In this occasion, I’m not thanking specific names but daily attitudes. I believe in people, and especially in you my family, and those chosen “selected friends and living travellers”. I believe that contact is never lost if the essence persists.

Thank you for giving me a small part of each of you and making me happier every day, being touched by your light without expecting anything in return, with pure love.

Prologue

All dogs are Labradors ... Or not. This is what we will try to test in this half real, half fiction book.

According to the experts in human evolution, our wildest, oldest and more animal brain from which we have already evolved is dated from 200,000 million years ago, while the rational cortex is only 2 millimetres thick and the ridiculous footprint of solely 30,000 years.

According to global leadership experts, such as Daniel Goleman, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith and some others, true living leaders are those who are able to make their hearted-actions more predominant than their animal egos.

Since the heart sends much more information to the brain than the one it receives back. Some more researches and studies conclude by saying the best leaders are those who think with their hearts and then manage with their heads and hands.

In relation to all this and taking into account the first book of the saga, with this continuation I want to make each of the readers think about basic topics; where they are, who they are, and what they do in the place and moment they are in.

This half-real and half-invented story, made of you and me and of the purest reality, of everything that we are learning along the way, pretends to provoke each reader by presenting ideas that might end in bringing light to each reader’s minds and hearts, with the solution to a very difficult equation.

Depending on each of our personal journeys, how much are we owners of ourselves and who we want to be or become.

If I can affirm something as writer of simple stories, loaded with madness and reality, is that “it’s not the dog you have, but how you have it. It is not who you are, but how you are. It’s all about the purpose and reason why of our existences”.

Have you ever known who you really are? Then and from on, if you decide to go ahead and read more, it is clear that you want to investigate a bit more into your inner self, which is the beginning of everything else.

It’s not that me, the author, I feel more or better than anyone, to be able to discuss about me or you or anybody else, not at all. Not even perhaps the most recognized thinkers and philosophers of history were better than other people.

What is certain is that each of those who helped to define our history, they did so simply by stopping to think about the simplest topics and explanations for various and different things being and happening at their times. They did so and acted, regardless of their mood, beliefs, race, culture, vital momentum or time in which they lived.

They stopped and just questioned themselves, their lives and thought that something better could come, while enjoying the way, finding a link between themselves, their hearts and their souls.

And then they acted and shared without expecting anything in return…
