We all came one day to the edge of something that could no longer be sustained.Passing through the darkness of the cocoon to be reborn with wings. To grow and fly higher.
The lotus flower grows from the dark, muddy mud at the bottom of a pond, spreading its stems towards the light until blooming pure and radiant on the surface. Difficulties root us deep down, but they drive us to transform suffering into beauty and inner clarity.
Like coal that under immense pressure turns into a diamond: difficulty reveals and creates our true strength.
When good things happen to us, we release them quickly if a problem occurs. It seems that we only put our attention on that which hurts us. If someone helped you, you can forget it, but you always remember the one who said no to you, or who was not by your side.
Certainly, one can learn from the painful, but it is a serious mistake not to know how to recognize what we have had and with whom we have counted on our journey.
To refuse to change is to deny our intelligence.
Adapting to change is not only a skill, but the path to success. When we resist to change, we become rigid and static, refusing to follow the course of life. This lack of adaptation annihilates our ideas, blurs our goals and slows down our objectives, it kills our dreams!
To make a change in our life, we need courage and the courage to take the leap, to move and to dare to do things differently.To live without fear of being you is to decide to be a protagonist and not a simple spectator of your own life.
There are times in life when a simple 'I'm going to make it' becomes your superpower. I have had experiences that push me to the limit and only when something is truly closed, life effortlessly opens the next door.
Last but not least, it is now, in the present, where everything begins. Let's act from the strength and start living from the fullness, using even failures as stepping stones to our best version, trusting that we can achieve what we set out to do.
It is not a problem to want such human aspects as connection, intimacy or sharing life. And it does not mean that you have dependence, but that you are alive.
It's almost Christmas and a lot of people are staring at the past. I want to invite you to something else
First, to understand that feeling nostalgic for December is absolutely normal and human.
And secondly, to not let that nostalgia decide how you are going to live these dates.
Give yourself that gift.And you know, you don't have to go through that nostalgia alone.
