Life is what happens while we make other plans

In life, your strengths are greater than your doubts and your job is to experiment to be aware of how difficult it is to sustain yourself without understanding the importance of these values. Don’t fool yourself because you no longer need to have the best and the latest on the market, make the most expensive trip, have resounding success or achieve the ideal body with the stroke of a scalpel.

“When I truly loved myself I understood that, in any circumstance, I was in the right place, at the right time, and at the exact moment, and then, I was able to relax.
Today I know that it has a name… Self-esteem

Today I know that that is… Authenticity

When I truly loved myself, I stopped wishing my life was different, and I began to accept everything that happens and that contributes to my growth.
Today that is called… Maturity

When I truly loved myself, I began to perceive that it is offensive to try to force some situation, or person, just to do what I want, even knowing that it is not the time, or the person is not ready, including myself.
Today I know that the name of that is… I respect

When I truly loved myself, I began to get rid of everything that was unhealthy: people, situations, and anything that pulled me down. At first my reason called that attitude selfishness.
Today it is called… Self-love

When I truly loved myself, I stopped fearing free time and gave up making big plans, I abandoned mega-projects for the future. Today I do what I find right, what I like, when I want, and at my own pace.
Today I know that that is… Simplicity and Simplicity

When I truly loved myself, I gave up always wanting to be right, and thus I made mistakes less often.
Today I discovered that that is… Modesty

When I truly loved myself, I gave up reliving the past and worrying about the future. Now, I stay in the present, which is where life happens.
Today I live one day at a time. And that’s called… Fullness

All that is… Know how to live

-Charles Chaplin-

What is life?

John Lennon once said that “ “Life is what happens while we are making other plans.”, as if there were no time limit, when in reality time is the most finite thing there is and will always come to an end.

We wake up every day as if we had eternity to understand what it means to fulfill ourselves. and take a step beyond our goals. We forget that the transience of the sand when passing to the other side of the clock is our option to cross to the other side and continue climbing the mountain. We also forget that, for the moment, it is the only life we are certain of being able to share.

You can stop to think that maybe something is missing and you can reflect about what are the values that you have not yet understood, if you care so much about doing what society understands as the greatest or what is important to you. It’s not that it’s incompatible, it’s that what matters is what you feel.

We live in a world that does not allow us to realize that, day after day, the sun goes to bed very early. We are so busy dreaming and programming the future that we spend our present time packing up those dreams that we plan to fulfill one day and sending them to a destination where we may never be.

The inexorable passage of time

We postpone our life to a better time in which we have more hours in the day or we have managed to meet our goals. And, with this, we forget that our clock does not know the world beyond the 24 hours it knows how to mark and that the option to fight with our dreams is what today gives us.

We have forgotten that to live is to understand that time passes without detours and that gives us the option to appreciate the little things that truly loving ourselves offers us. Living consists precisely of this, of knowing how to recognize and appreciate the paths that give us clues to understand that our better half is within us and that it does not make much sense to look outside for the most important thing that life offers us.

So, while you prepare to disrupt your world to make all this happen, Don’t forget to keep in mind something that Benjamin Franklin said:
