One of the things I admire most about Keanu Reeves is the capacity for detachment that he has shown throughout his life, I think he is a person who understands that beyond the need to make money or have an economic position full of comforts and luxuries, the human aspect must be rescued. I make reference to the way he leads his life with a unique humility, you always see pictures of him, taking the underground as someone ordinary and helping others, this is something incredible to me, perhaps because they are symptoms of a person who understands that what is really important is to try to be a better person every day.

In my case I am trying to cultivate in me, to be much more empathetic, maybe sometimes we pass by when we interact with people and we don’t stop to pay attention, sometimes we can help a friend who is in trouble or just needs to be heard. Let’s be honest, it is not at all easy to be there for people who need us, but we must try to make the time to rescue that authenticity that makes us more human.

I must clarify that there is no need to have a lot of money to be a better person, I in particular have a clear vision that consists of “simple life, high thinking”, that is to say; I know that material things have an expiration time, of course being a millionaire would not be bad hehehe, but I know that cultivating spirituality has much more weight in my life. That’s how I’m somehow impressed that Keanu has not been seduced by Hollywood and stands firm in his position to help without asking for anything in return.

So I guess if I knew him, I would ask him what is the practice that has kept him grounded? Maybe it’s easy to say that humility is something that anyone can adopt, but believe me, it’s not that simple, since it’s not a fad to try to be a better human being, it really depends on a true transformation. Having a coffee with him would be really nice, since it’s something that I like too much and of course it’s a good way to start a good conversation hehehe.

I would tell him that sometimes I doubt myself and that I am impressed by his ability to make things possible and how he is so sure of himself. Undoubtedly, confidence is fundamental and even more so in the artistic field, but people like me still feel a huge nervousness when speaking in public, I think that’s why I would ask him for tips to improve this stage fright.
