Failure is one more step to success ...

Because failure is always a part of life, and not giving up is always the right choice. It's one more step for us to be successful, that's how I see it.

Currently working from home is a reality that is here to stay. What is fundamental, for my life, now? Well, take care of our emotional and mental health when we do "home office".

I have learned to protect the balance when combining work and personal life in the same physical space, and it is not easy. Because it is to be at my house and often feel that the work is not finished, that is, our body is, but our mind is still connected.

I failed many times, but I have learned to overcome it, I miss the coworkers, interacting with them face to face. But today I know that in the Home Office, I don't try to avoid failures but to face them and move on.

Also life puts us to the test, after my husband's triple coronary bypass a year ago, I took my sabbatical year at the university and do a promotion job to apply for another position. Without a doubt, to be able to follow up on the recovery and strengthen myself from the resilience that we all need to not break down in the face of difficulty.

Without a doubt, productivity should not be costing peace of mind and well-being, or our mental health. Because our peace, it's part of the job. I believe that to be successful in my job goes far beyond doing it well or having the best intentions.

Now I look at the world and our life with eyes of possibilities. We believe that having a positive mind is enough for us to do well and no, it's not like that.

The "positivity" fades quickly before contact with reality, even if you endure. But, acceptance is the key to solving part of this dilemma. And it comes from understanding that not every day is good, that failure is also a possibility. Or that things will not always turn out the way we expect, nor will people react the way we imagine. Because low self-esteem does not make you humble or a good person, it leaves us blind.

Especially in the face of those truths that don't sound pretty, but that have to be said.

In my view of things, it's not about running away from problems but knowing what to do when they come our way because we all carry something, at a cost, things like: doubts, entanglements, silences that weigh, and a lot.And, fundamentally, we all have the possibility to ask for help and move from that uncomfortable place where we are “carrying firewood” and justifying what destroys us, in addition to staying where we are not respected, just to feel accepted.
