Quedarse desnuda para vestir a otros | Staying naked to dress others 馃Г
La vida, tan complicada a veces, injusta para algunos y f谩cil para otros. En mi caso, ni injusta ni f谩cil, simplemente un proceso, en el cual sufrimos, re铆mos, nos casamos pero en el que tambi茅n podemos levantarnos una y otra vez de ser necesario. En ese proceso podemos nutrirnos de diferentes fuentes, de cada d铆a me gusta llevarme algo, si bien esto no nos excluye de pasar por momentos amargos, nos advierte. Crecer espiritualmente ayuda a proyectarnos hacia otros y en consecuencia vivir una vida m谩s placentera.
Hace algunos d铆as me llev茅 una lecci贸n profunda y tambi茅n silenciosa. En el ministerio juvenil de la iglesia me pidieron que apoyara como consejera. Tengo facilidad de palabra, aptitudes comunicativas que me permiten llegar a las personas, conectar con ellas y ayudarlos a sobrellevar su carga.
Se me han acercado j贸venes que en primera instancia cre铆 que la consejer铆a era de aqu铆 para all谩 pero sorprendentemente cada charla me ha ayudado m谩s a mi que a ellos. De cada rato transcurrido me he llevado tres cosas importantes: que hay problemas m谩s grandes que los m铆os, que cada uno enfrenta las situaciones x de la vida de formas diferentes, no se puede minimizar ning煤n problema porque cada cual decide si formar o no una tormenta en su vaso de agua y lo m谩s importante, soy yo la que m谩s me nutro de sus experiencias, crezco con cada consejo y sobre todo no se c贸mo pero mi vida espiritual equilibra un poco m谩s despu茅s de cada conversaci贸n.
Hace algunas noches se me acerc贸 una joven de veintitantos a帽os con una experiencia agridulce. Ella es nueva en el ministerio, su mente est谩 repleta de preguntas, y lamentablemente los espejos que tiene son las dem谩s personas que profesan tener la misma fe que quiere alcanzar. Tuvo una situaci贸n con una vecina donde se sinti贸 lastimada, una persona de la que no se esperaba semejante reacci贸n alegando que ella no se merece eso, como que ya estaba cansada de ser buena con personas que no le correspond铆an.
Ah铆 me di cuenta de la tarea tan dif铆cil que es aconsejar. Vivimos en un mundo donde por lo general nos enfocamos en nuestras cosas, no miramos al otro a menos que sea para criticar y solo nos importa nosotros mismos. Cu谩ntas relaciones interpersonales no se ven afectadas porque el otro no conoce de la empat铆a, donde no sabemos ponernos ni aunque sea por segundos en zapatos ajenos. Situaciones de este tipo he visto y vivido.
La vida a veces se muestra como un mar donde la depredaci贸n est谩 en auge, donde todos queremos demostrar quien es el tibur贸n y a cuantos nos podemos comer. La verdad ya no me importa mucho si soy buena y la otra persona no lo valora, que sea as铆 no va a hacerme cambiar c贸mo individuo, prefiero mantenerme en mi postura, ayudando en lo que pueda, brindar siempre una mano solidaria de todo coraz贸n y dando mi mejor sonrisa. Ojo, tampoco dejando que me hagan el coraz贸n trizas, pero s铆 demostrando d铆a a d铆a c贸mo me gustar铆a que me trataran.
La muchacha me hizo tener despu茅s de conversar con ella un buen rato de catarsis. De todo lo que dijo me qued茅 con algo, me dice textual: Siempre prefiero quedarme desnuda con tal de que otros se vistan
Literalmente me pasa, en su caso, ya se estaba cansado de que fuera as铆 porque adem谩s de quedar al descubierto le hac铆an mucho da帽o y la misma frialdad humana le quemaba, es comprensible, pero tampoco se puede dejar que la carencia de las personas afecten. Cada cual que decida el rumbo que quiere darle a su vida, si quiere volverla una desagradecida, donde muerda la mano extendida, es una cuesti贸n de cada uno y ya ver谩 en el juicio final, en mi caso prefiero seguir brindando mis vestiduras, pintando a color las vidas que pueda, ofreciendo de lo poco que tengo para que otros tambi茅n tengan y eso me define.
Me niego a contagiarme con la frialdad de los corazones que ya est谩n enfurecidos, seguir茅 qued谩ndome desnuda.
Bendiciones.
Life, so complicated sometimes, unfair for some and easy for others. In my case, neither unfair nor easy, just a process, in which we suffer, laugh, get married but in which we can also get up again and again if necessary. In that process we can nourish ourselves from different sources, I like to take something with me every day, although this does not exclude us from going through bitter moments, he warns us. Growing spiritually helps us to project ourselves towards others and consequently live a more pleasant life.
A few days ago I took away a profound and also silent lesson. In the youth ministry of the church I was asked to support as a counselor. I have ease of speech, communicative skills that allow me to reach people, connect with them and help them bear their burden.
I have been approached by young people who at first thought that counseling was from here to there but surprisingly every talk has helped me more than them. From each time that has passed I have taken away three important things: that there are bigger problems than mine, that everyone faces the x situations of life in different ways, no problem can be minimized because everyone decides whether or not to form a storm in their glass of water and most importantly, I am the one who nourishes myself the most from their experiences, I grow with each advice and above all I don't know how but my spiritual life balances a little more after each conversation.
A few nights ago I was approached by a young woman in her twenties with a bittersweet experience. She is new to the ministry, her mind is full of questions, and unfortunately the mirrors she has are the other people who profess to have the same faith that she wants to achieve. She had a situation with a neighbor where she felt hurt, a person from whom such a reaction was not expected claiming that she does not deserve that, like she was already tired of being nice to people who did not correspond to her.
That's when I realized what a difficult task it is to give advice. We live in a world where we usually focus on our own things, we don't look at each other unless it's to criticize and we only care about ourselves. How many interpersonal relationships are not affected because the other does not know about empathy, where we do not know how to put ourselves even for seconds in other people's shoes. I have seen and experienced situations of this kind.
Life sometimes shows itself as a sea where predation is on the rise, where we all want to show who the shark is and how many we can eat. The truth is that I don't care much anymore if I'm good and the other person doesn't value it, that's not going to change me as an individual, I prefer to stay in my position, helping in whatever I can, always offering a supportive hand with all my heart and giving my best smile. Be careful, not letting them tear my heart to shreds either, but showing day by day how I would like to be treated.
The girl made me have after talking with her a good catharsis time. Of everything she said, I was left with something, she tells me verbatim: I always prefer to stay naked as long as others get dressed
It literally happens to me, in his case, he was already tired of it being like that because besides being exposed they did him a lot of harm and the same human coldness burned him, it's understandable, but you can't let the lack of people affect either. Each one who decides the direction he wants to give to his life, if he wants to make it an ungrateful one, where he bites the outstretched hand, is a matter for each one and you will see in the final judgment, in my case I prefer to continue providing my clothes, painting the lives I can in color, offering what little I have so that others may also have and that defines me.
I refuse to be infected with the coldness of hearts that are already enraged, I will continue to stay naked.
Blessings.
