I hear you ...

My grandmother Margarita, years ago, told me that *the competition looks at the neighbor's tree loaded with fruits and thinks If the earth gave life there, it can also give it here. I will take better care of my garden”... Why?... Well, because there are two seeds that can be born when we see another one blooming. One is competition, the other one is envy.

Envy looks at the same tree and wishes that the wind would pluck the fruits from it, because it has forgotten that each season comes in its own time.

He who competes honors the path, and he who is envious fights with fate. Competition strengthens the roots, and envy consumes the sap.

Let's not be afraid to find admiration for someone, because admiration is a bridge to what we can still become.

The projection is always the projection, I thought, that it was like that and no, it is not like that, because I feel that we should not condemn envy, when envy visits our heart, we must learn to listen to it.We have to ask what part of us feels stuck, what dream we abandoned and what gift we have left waiting, to not achieve a dream, a goal, or a project.

It is true that the wind that caresses the trees does not distribute its caresses equally. Every tree blooms when its roots stop looking at someone else's forest, and they start drinking from the water, which was always under their own feet, their own roots. Someone very close recently told me 'don't trust anyone', I looked at it, I listened, and there I saw a tree wanting to die.

In presence, it is when we choose what we want to see flourish.

We all have a limit, and most people, including myself, live without knowing where theirs is. We know in detail how long the phone holds without charging, when the car needs a service, when the body asks for food, but we are completely disconnected from our emotional saturation level.

And that's how one goes through life, until one day, for a silly reason, it breaks where it least wanted to break, just as it possibly happened to that tree... it wanted to die.

And how do you know if you are close to your limit? Your body and your behavior warn you because you sleep poorly, everything irritates you, it's hard to concentrate, you cry easily or you feel tired that no "weekend repairs". The real truth is that taking care of myself goes way beyond bathing and exercising, it's checking myself inside as often as I check everything else. Watch out for that.

In the end, people who “suddenly explode" almost never suddenly exploded. She had been warning herself for a while, and she never listened.

Focus... Cardinals are messengers.

This must my dad remainding me this message Who is not happy with what he has, for seeing everything he is supposed to lack... when he gets what he is supposed to lack, he is often surprised that soon he is not happy again…

Life has an expiration date... We have to consume it all here. Thankssss dad, I feel that you still with me.
