[Week 130] To Ulises

Hello Ulises, I remember you as an introverted boy, in meetings with friends, few words came out of your mouth, you lost your gaze, your body was parked in the middle of the room, but your mind floated in infinity, everyone called you the weird one.

Now, it fills me with pride to know that you managed to bill your first million dollars in a month, and you know why, because it all happened because of me, a little bit because of the envy of seeing many grow in the face of the world economic crisis, while I repeated over and over again that phrase that says that first a camel goes through the eye of a needle than a rich man enters the kingdom of heaven.

I received a slap in the face of reality and I started to change my bedtime prayers, I stopped asking for miracles, donations and the winning lottery ticket at the end of the year to find the investment vision, the astuteness, the thirst for knowledge and perseverance.

You are a magnet for money, those 100 bills feel your perfume and run to you to multiply, you made in your pockets a presidential suite and the power does not resist your pleasure.

I remember and laugh about that time you started sleeping on the floor and eating rice every day to get in touch with your fears and overcome them, now you can travel the world in first class and yet you do it in comfortable clothes and with the most necessary things in your white backpack.

I celebrate the day when reflection came to you to give you the light and you quit smoking, you switched from American fast food and signed up to study nutrition and holistic wellness, one of the best decisions of your life, now that you are 45 years old you look younger than you did 10 years ago.

Ulises, I admire you, you overcame your laziness, you stopped being a witness to be a protagonist, I see an even more promising future for you, I always recognized you in the mirror as a dreamer with a good heart who doubted his inner spark.

I say goodbye, I send you my best energies for the road, I ask you to keep this letter in a special place and read it again in 10 years.

Love, Ulises.
