Door: LETTER TO YOURSELF
In my countless
talks with loneliness, in one occasion I asked this question: "Mirror,
mirror... What is the purpose of the person which is reflected in you?"
The mirror replied winking me the eye: "Check your patterns of thoughts
and rules to be happy. Then, see if your habits work as a team with your values
so you can develop a committed sense of belonging towards yourself and society.
Finally, remember that you were created to be you... your mold is unique." Therefore, it is not healthy, trying to fit your original existence in someone
else, because at the end, and after all, you are a miracle surrounded by
millions of miracles. Eureka! Now I knew what the process to change my outdated
belief system with an updated version was. Well, what about you? what does silence
tell you?
When the
bustle is muted, you don't need to be saved; Instead, let it flow because it is
right there in "the mental gentleness" where you overcome your fear
to know yourself. Frequently, at all costs, we look for company in order to
avoid feeling alone, and sometimes, as a result, we are involved into stormy
relationships, into harmful friendships, or simply we develop unhealthy conduct
habits. But, what if you give the opportunity to the 'monster’ to defend
himself and to tell you he is not as horrible as he is portrayed? If in a dark
night loneliness invites you to dance, you say yes! ... You might discover that
like the "beast" from the fairy tale... "these so-called
claws" are actually, loving lessons about how the stars are made of
different shapes, colors, and sizes. Next to it, you will learn that focused
self-knowledge is power; power to transform and advance.
Therefore,
if you like to see the brightness of the stars, start with yourself. Stop for a moment; close your eyes; breathe
deeply and slowly; feel the joy, love, peace, freedom, expansion, and gratitude
that you have experienced in those special moments when you've been alone with
your inner being. Then take pen and paper and write a few short lines. Like this:
Dear loneliness,
"Thanks for unconditionally
being by my side in the most difficult moments, for teaching me that I am
responsible for how I think, feel and act. Now I understand how to unleash
the greatness of my name."
With love,

Some trips are made in the
company of wonderful people, others on the other hand, are only accompanied by "shadow."
It is true that with or without someone, our happiness is not subject to the
person we have aside. Your ear-to-ear smile must be drawn by your own brush,
and not someone else's. Rather than dive
in frustration by not having someone to take the hand to, take the initiative
to learn more about yourself by giving a strong handshake to the melodious calm.
In this way, you're eliminating useless excuses and you're adding sound reasons
to make every step you give, you leave the footprint of a courageous heart who
is not afraid to embrace the self discovery locked up in its own silence.
