This invitation is so that it does not allow a NO as an answer, it only gives room for continuity, for the clear idea of continuing with that which we so much desire, be it for ourselves, for our family, and even for our community.
The persistent desire not to be defeated... yes, we get tired; and yes, many times we are at a point where we stop fighting, and then, that little inner voice continues to hover with the typical phrase: "You can do it, come on!.
Without fear of being mistaken, I believe that we have all experienced at some time the hopelessness and it is thanks to that emotional insistence, to that mental motivation that we manage to raise our self-esteem injecting hope and strength into our being. Whether it is in a very spiritual way or in a very realistic way, the positive effect that this play on words leaves in us is definitive: Keep trying, don't stop believing, don't stop fighting.
We are aware that many times external circumstances limit our progress towards that improvement, but if we always consider that, we will never take the next step, the search for other paths will be blocked by our pessimism and we will live waiting for another opportunity to come when this could be the last chance.
It is valid to meditate, to stop and observe the panorama, even to lament the unwanted outcome, but what we cannot afford is to stop trying.
So resist more, insist more... either on the first try or on the fifteenth; when there is clarity when there are a burning and clear desire for what you want, nothing will stop you, unless you allow it.
You can take away my sleep, but you can never take away my desire to keep dreaming. Shoshan
I was meditating on Bartimaeus: the blind man who tells the Bible that he was sitting by the side of the road begging and the moment he heard that it was Jesus; he began to cry out for mercy, saying JESUS SON OF DAVID HAS MISERY OF ME! Mark, who writes this account, tells us that those who were with Jesus rebuked them to be silent, but he cried out much more.
How many times in the midst of our desperation, when we take the initiative to cry out and seek God to work miracles in our lives, do voices rise up to rebuke us to be silent and not invoke the mercy and power of God? However, Bartimaeus cried out louder. Bartimaeus was not going to let go of the opportunity he had in his life. He had already heard about Jesus and believed that he could change his life forever. For Bartimaeus, the only thing that mattered was his miracle and he was not going to miss the opportunity that lay ahead. "The bible tells us that time and occasion happen to all of us, the secret is to know how to take advantage of the opportunities that life presents to us, to have an encounter with Jesus.
Never allow anyone to take away your right to achieve your dreams, we have to be like Bartimaeus, even if the world sends us to be silent we have to keep on crying out for that miracle and that dream because that is the engine that makes you keep on going.
Never abandon your dreams, as long as you believe you can achieve your goals, try again and again, let no one stop you, close your hands and take all those dreams and do not let go, put it in your chest as if it were a valuable jewel, and keep it in your heart because your dreams are valuable.
Never feel that you have lost because something did not go well once, you must always try again, that perseverance is the most important thing in a person, you can be very smart but if you do not have constancy to do things, you will never succeed.
Begin each day as if it were the first of the rest of your life, always with hope, joy, and a lot of love to share, so that your heart is happy and satisfied because you are trying to do your best. Don't let anyone steal the joy you carry within you. You are fortunate to have much love, many illusions, and many dreams, do not waste them. Every day try to learn something new, look at the days in colors, so that the opacity does not win out over the beauty you have in front of your eyes.
What takes away your sleep, do not take it into account, erase it from your mind, to retain it is bad for the soul, feel happy with who you are, you have the capacity to learn from your mistakes, do not let bad feelings like pride and vanity tarnish your beautiful heart.
