18 reflections by Pau Donés, vocalist of ‘Jarabe de palo’, on life and happiness

Before dying, in June 2020, Pau Donés, vocalist of ‘Jarabe de palo’, expressed: “I am angry with cancer because I don’t want to leave, now it is not good for me to leave. I would prefer to live a little longer, to be honest, but “It is what it is and I am fine with myself, at peace and calm.”

  1. Live in the present.
  2. Don’t waste time thinking about the future.
  3. Stop believing in luck, believe in yourself.
  4. Stop making mountains of molehills.
  5. Laugh a lot.
  6. Sing in the shower, in bars, at weddings, at dinners with friends or wherever you feel like whenever you feel like it.
  7. Learn to tell yourself: “I love you” without being ashamed.
  8. Kiss, touch and hug a lot.
  9. Listen to yourself as much as you know how to share yourself in silence.
  10. Love others, but above all yourself.
  11. Fight as little as possible. Being angry is a big, stupid waste of time. To hell with ego and pride!
  12. Stop pretending to be what you are not, that it is of no use.
  13. Lose the fear of death, but also the fear of living.
  14. Decide for yourself. Never let others do it.
  15. When life closes a window on you, open your wings to break the glass and fly away.
  16. Give quality to life because beauty is abundant.
  17. Put a good face on sorrows and bad weather. Or bad, nothing happens either.
  18. Life is always a dream.
