I reached the end of this year
absolutely and truly exhausted. But definitely happy. And I thought that maybe
was it because of our 42° degrees. But no, as usual the Universe tested me
daily, with the huge difference that within years you become more and more
emotional and things affect you in different ways. Even the happiness of
feeling loved feels different, or maybe I just realized that I DESERVE TO BE
LOVED and that´s when everything makes sense. I grew up so much… I managed to
reconnect with my inner being, and everything was there, I swear it was and it
IS. And I cannot express in words how wonderful this feels.
I would love everyone to understand
the deep and profound meaning of being alive. How important a smile, a hugh, and
an “I love you” are. But I would also like for everyone to realize that we came
back to this life with a purpose, no matter how cheesy this might sound. And
this purpose, this task, is not fulfilled by going to church and keep talking
sweet words about God and then thinking that only your pain is terrible, your
war is the worse or your degree allows you to be better than others.
Wisdom is understanding that, out
of your tiny patriotic box there is a whole world. And that if you think that you
are not able to do anything about Siria, Irak, Chaco, Africa, Venezuela, the
guy that sleeps in the streets, the horse that pulls tons of weight or the dog
that still waits for a loving family, then you should think about how you are
living your life or how you treat others daily. Because there is no difference
between middle East conflict or people that still believe that someone deserves
to die only because of how she or he were dressed…or those people that preach
vegetarianism or animal rights and then go and insult other humans only for
thinking in a different way.
To be wise is to find coherence between what
you say and what you do. And if you think that you are not ready, then learn
how to be silent and start to listen to other realities. Be wise and remember
that God gave you two ears but only ONE MOUTH. If you are gonna use it, make
sure is to tell someone “I hear you”.
The soul remembers the purpose when
you are able to understand others pain without judging, when you respect others
opinion, when you don´t play the victim role and you take charge of what is yours.
When you understand that is fine to make mistakes or to be afraid. The soul
reminds you of who you really are when you recognize in others the same capacity
of being part of everything. Wisdom is
also recognizing your own limits, even when they might have a name and surname…
wisdom is not to take guilt as part of your life and stop doing things “cause
you are expected to” or “you are supposed to”.
In every detail, everything
prevails and it also finishes. For this new chapter I wish we can all recognize
our soul wisdom to comprehend that each detail, each tiny act has it
consequences over us as over others. And that nothing is ours or theirs, it
only IS.
I wish peace, strength, knowledge,
wisdom, an open and loving mind, flexibility and a truly joy of this new opportunity
that the Universe had given us to surprise ourselves with our potential to be
better.
