Getting complicated, when problems come together. In fact, it is possible that if problems happen to you when you have the resources at hand, you will not see them as complicated. But when you are in a vulnerable moment, there is no doubt that the weight is felt…

It is enough that we are in a complicated moment of our life for all the problems to come together. It seems as if the universe agreed so that everything becomes chaos. And to some extent yes, “the universe tends to chaos” is a proper statement of the laws of thermodynamics, but let's go further.

Not everything can be avoided, there are things that you just have to deal with. Sometimes it's an accident, sometimes it's a disease. You can try to prevent things to a point and still live complex experiences.

I think that if it is not easy to achieve in life that things happen as you want, imagine how it will be with the problems. Just because you don't want to live them doesn't mean they won't come to us.

To prepare for problems is to take advantage of peacetime to recover energy and strengthen our capacities to be able to respond when life situations arise... Not before, not after... Because problems are answered when they arrive.

Here thinking out loud and before life gets complicated and goes ahead without asking for permission in our daily life, let's imagine for a moment that we are 80 years old and we have the possibility to return exactly to this day of our life for 24 hours. To that house, to our age, to our partner, to our children as they are today, to this job that maybe consumes us, even to problems that since the age of 80 we would probably give anything to have again. Now tell me, would you live this day the same? So as not to complicate ourselves..

I wish someone would let us know when we are living the best years of our life... I would love to be given that moment because no one warns, and that's why we have to be attentive with a very simple phrase: We human beings are our memories. We are only left with what we live present. We would be able to hug longer, we would complain a lot less or we would look with different eyes at that routine that bothers us so much today. And there's the thing, dear people, we need to miss stages to understand how important they were while they were happening. And so we go as time passes, regretting not having done things, or not having enjoyed the past enough.

Probably even after you read this the years will pass and we will miss what seems everyday to us today, the important thing is to remember that we also remember them that although they were complicated at the time, we also enjoyed it... What is that stage that you are living today and that one day you are going to miss?
