You think that I am stubborn, but you are even more stubborn than me. You had a wonderful chance on your drive back to see one of the greatest sights… - Christopher McCandless

Deberías cambiar radicalmente de vida y empezar a hacer cosas que antes ni siquiera imaginabas o que nunca te habías atrevido a intentar. Sé audaz. Son demasiadas las personas que se sienten infelices y que no toman la iniciativa de cambiar su situación porque se las ha condicionado para que acepten una vida basada en la estabilidad, las convenciones y el conformismo… Si quieres obtener más de la vida debes renunciar a una existencia segura y monótona… No eches raíces, no te establezcas. Cambia a menudo de lugar, lleva una vida nómada, renueva cada día tus expectativas… No necesitas tener a alguien contigo para traer una nueva luz a tu vida. Está ahí fuera, sencillamente… Tu único enemigo eres tú mismo y esa terquedad que te impide cambiar las circunstancias en que vives.

"Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. — Alexander Supertramp, May 1992"
