Life goes on with death, with an illness or being healthy (like any process), however; it is easy to find peace of mind when everything is calm; but doing it in the midst of uncertainty, is a real challenge. Although I have to heal every day, one day at a time I wish that my emotional wounds are not infected with sadness or bitterness.
Although it sounds paradoxical, death teaches us to live. When we look at the loss, when we suffer for the departure of such loved ones, the immediate reflection is how do I live my life? How do I want to live it? And if, really, I am doing something valuable with my life, for me and for the world.
It always gives us the opportunity to reflect on the fact that we are not eternal, and it also leads us to understand our legacy.
The physical disappearance of a loved one leads us to reflect on our permanence in this world, on our transcendence and on our legacy of a purposeful life.
Since I was a very young girl, my parents taught me about resilience, strength and encouragement, but above all, I learned that as long as we are alive, we should never give up and have gratitude for every action and hands-on work.
As the moment arrives, I take a deep breath. I am a grateful woman, it has not been easy, with every challenge my inner strength knows that it can overcome any obstacle, any adversity. In the most challenging moments, the most transformative teachings are born.
I want to think as a turning point for all of us, that we stop living our daily anxieties, in automatic, meaningless and purposeless, as if we were eternal and already. And it's not like that.
Life happens to us in seconds, it changes us, it ends. Let's not continue in the same, in selfishness, in anger, in the move from there to put me, in the craving for power and money, we are so fragile that we laugh when we feel better than the other; I'm talking about the filthy envy that silent enemy, full of greed, desires, and ambition faith the successes of others.
It is one of the ugliest emotions that exists, it feels ugly especially when it comes from close or well-known people, even relatives as my grandmother Margarita said it is not only to desire what the other has, but to feel bad because the other has it even though one may have it.
When you feel envy focus on what you have achieved your own achievements.
This is how you enjoy the journey of life, step by step, with patience, strength, discipline and resilience, because the route to the goal is not straight, there will always be contingencies along the way.
To understand it is to understand life.
