I choose not to return the damage, but to move on ...

It's already starting to close its doors, this year 2025, and with it comes my own closing description as well.

This has been a year that challenged me, moved me, confronted me, and taught me a lot as a university teacher, coach, advisor and above all, how.to be human.

There were successes but also mistakes, there were mistakes that hurt me, but that made me grow. There were times when I had to let go, accept and trust. And above all, there was a lot of learning and gratitude.

Gandhi said, "A human being invests in what he thinks about himself." This was the year I had to look deep inside myself and ask myself what was he thinking about me? And if those thoughts allowed me to achieve what I wanted.

I confess something from the heart: I put a lot of love, enthusiasm and energy to a project that I had in progress, intention and action during this year, but it simply did not work as I had imagined at first, and when that happened I had to ask myself honestly: What do I really want to do?.

The answer came to me clear, precise and timely... My purpose is still intact, what changes is how I deliver it... and who I walk with.

Today I can say goodbye to this project with joy and with honesty. With the satisfaction of having dared, of having bet, of having built together with wonderful people who were by my side.

And also with the tranquility that today I am witnessing the birth of new projects... My projects... Created with the same passion, with the same dedication and with a renewed certainty.

I am also convinced that I have the capacity to sustain my purpose, that I can also sustain and manage my own emotions, that I am fit for life... And so, little by little, I continue to become what I think about myself.

To those who have been obstacles in my way I remind you that: the best revenge, is none. Whoever acted in bad faith, justice will come to him one way or another. Some wars are fought not with words, but with 🤫 Thank you for joining me on this path.

I am ready to applaud myself on my achievements and also to be there when things are not so smooth. I love life. Every day we find ourselves with new desires and with more spark than ever.

I deeply love the best of me, which is being born "now"...

When I get to old lady, I visualize myself with a full heart, walking this path; serving life every day...That makes me feel happy, grateful and committed with every step I take.
