One does not live in a distant and imaginary land.
Where one day everything is perfect. We live here and now, with the reality of how things are.
Of course, we can wait and work towards an idealized tomorrow. However, to do this, you have to successfully deal with the world as it is today.
Sometimes we avoid experiencing exactly where we are because we have developed a belief, based on experiences, that it is not where we should be or where we want to be.
But the truth is that where we are now is exactly where we need to be to get to where we want to go tomorrow. So we have to practice, appreciate and recognize the “where we are".
When I do, I feel blessed, and I take a moment to remember how lucky I am to breathe and that's when I take a look around, with my eyes seriously open to possibilities, to opportunities.
There is no profession, vocation or task in this life to which we should not add love and passion so that the final result is successful, rewarding.
There are those who work only for pleasure and others who have to do it every day, and that routine sometimes annoys. Thinking about the planning and strategies of each day and not knowing what to do or what to invent to leave everyone happy and content, is sometimes an exhausting task.
I think that freedom is an important value for me, the free will of thought and action without harming another. A shadow over that disturbs and frightens me.
Justice because it pleases to act in scenarios where one proceeds justly and everyone receives what they deserve according to their actions, which makes everyone stick to the consequences of what they do.
And I could say many more values, but those that encompass gratitude, forgiveness and compassion are fundamental in everyday life because they connect me with my inner being and make me respectfully value the surrounding beings without judging them and also face me to raise awareness of my miseries for working every day.
Sometimes I imagine that life is my boss and I have to convince her to know my needs, what I want to ask, and the scope of what I want to give her.
Sometimes it happens to me that much of what I fear, perhaps because of uncertainty, does not exist in the space around me and much of what I love is closer than I think. That's when I remember that happiness is a way of thinking that can only be designed in the present tense.
There is something that is intangible, that is not palpable, that goes beyond skills, and that is the love and passion that is delivered when you do what you like to do. Everything... absolutely everything must have the heart as the main ingredient.
What I always repeat to myself on a daily basis... you have to spice up life.
No matter what happens, no matter how far it seems to be where you want to be, I never stop believing that somehow I will make it.
That, how do I do it? With FAITH, with the unshakable belief that things will turn out well, in time, with discipline, coffee, study, preparation, practice, commitment, passion, seasoning and heart.
And maybe it won't happen today, but I enjoy it because true purposes don't expire.
