A KEY TO EMOTIONS

"... And they lived happily forever." However, sometimes that 'forever' comes to an end in a short period of time. What to do when the person you love discovers that his/her happiness depends on leaving your side? Learning to give up is courageous, letting someone that lives in our hearts go, shows the nobility of our love. Let us remember that the unselfish love does not develop selfishness or ties, on the contrary, it is based on the mutual well-being. Accepting that that person making shine your eyes does not want to keep being part of your look anymore, is without a doubt one of the most bitter shots that you could feel. Since you have created a very strong affective bond, it is difficult to understand that life goes on despite the fact that you feel incomplete without that person. In a certain way, love him (her) was part of the habit that gave beauty to your life. Despite the pain we experience, the healthier thing for our mental and...

Are you happy or successful? Or you can be both at the same time? Yiruma is one of my favorite pianists; his performances have the power of flooding my spirit with grace and beauty. What I like most of him is to see how he breaks the silence by giving life to the piano. How does he get that effect on people like me? Without a doubt, he is happy creating music. My mother has the ability to understand the complex world of her five children. In fact, she knows what the right words are and at what point they should be said to help each of them, how can she do that? Undoubtedly, she is happy to strengthen their children. Both the famous pianist and my beloved mom are happy at what they do and this leads them to obtain successful results. So then, what is success? Success is a state of mind, which is reflected by emotions such as "achievement" and "quietness." For example, when we reach something that we had set for ourselves we fee...

"To conquer the stars means to conquer your inner self." The first step to recognize the unlimited potential in others, is to start by your own; Since when you have experience, you acquire the faculty of appreciation. Travel to the center of your universe, allows you to assess your existence, correct your mistakes and learn how to leverage your internal resources. In addition, doing so turns you into a model of life. To tell the truth, the only way to positively influence and manage effective change in people, is becoming a living proof of that  it can be.  Remember that only someone who knows the power of the application, has the authority to tell you successfully how self-empowering transforms habits into the raw material for skills. For example; in (American) football, only those who have crossed the end zone, can describe you with detail the sensation produced by a touchdown. In swimming, you cannot teach " Butterfly Stroke" ...

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 ...

Life is like a roller coaster; Sometimes we are ascending, and other times, we are descending. But without a doubt, these rises and descents are what make life an event full of rhythm and emotion. For this reason, our mission is to prevent "that spark" from becoming shy because of the frustration when we are in the low peaks or dominated by pride when we are in the high peaks. I.e., we must keep the flame intact when we have the world above our heads and when we have it under our feet. Now, how to do this? Let's consider our hobbies. Mine; for example, are to read, to run, and to draw. When I think about the reason why I enjoy them so much; I smile, I widely open my eyes and sigh a little; because thanks to them I can learn, improve my fitness and develop my artistic side. Now it's your turn, think of your three favorite pastimes. Then make you aware of how your body and facial expression change to only think about the reason why you like them so much. These ...

One of my favorite characters is Rocky Balboa, played by the great Sylvester Stallone. Rocky, a boxer who made mistakes, and that’s why he learned how to forge an invincible spirit.   In other words, he stood up all the times he needed in order to reach his goals. Rocky knew that his real opponent in the ring was not before him, but within him. The strength of this champion was not measured by the size of his muscles, but by the nobility of his soul to forgive himself for his continuous falls both inside and outside the ring. Regardless of his failures, he would work to improve and try again and again, hence his real strength came from the "inside." Now, how can internal force be measured? Like the really important things, this cannot be quantified, but it can be measured in concrete facts. It is of tough people, for instance, to learn to forgive; so, when you say... "I have forgiven,"... do these words come out of your mouth only or they also come out of yo...

When I was seven years old, I made my first kite, a very fun experience. But the really exciting thing was learning how to fly it. It was an arduous task, as what appeared to be literally "a child's play” ... in reality, for me, it became "a child’s challenge.” After an afternoon of numerous failed attempts, I finally got it... it was a feeling of triumph and wonder, on the one hand, I felt proud of not giving up and on the other hand, it seemed incredible to me that something built with fragile materials was not destroyed by the powerful wind. Eventually I was discovering that, like this kite, great results can be obtained when we know how to use every circumstance as a source of leverage. We have control on ourselves, but we don't have it on that which is not part of us. Everything what is "out," plays a special role, that is why your true talent lies in forming strategic alliances and not useless wars. Freedom! An ideal by which countless fights h...
