"I am reborn. This is my dawn. Real life has just begun. Deliberate Living: Conscious attention to the basics of life, and a constant attention to your immediate environment and its concerns, example- A job, a task, a book; anything requiring efficient concentration (Circumstance has no value. It is how one relates to a situation that has no value. All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon, what it means to you)."

• McCandless thought his life should be lived as simple as possible with its main focus on what is happening at the moment. Thoreau like Mccandless thought your attention should be on the basics of life.
