Time is fugitive
There are only a few days left until the end of this year 2022, and I want to tell you that loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance in this flirtation I have with life, with the powerful energy of being a woman, with the supremacy of Peace and my well-being and I remind you that "time is fleeting" and we must make the most of it to be happy and to connect with creation and with that which gives us well-being.
There is no potion or spell that will work if the change is not in my plans, I believe in a single mission which is the steadfastness to live in romance. And this lifelong romance begins with the understanding that I am not the body... but the soul that contains the essence.
And what I write below (I am going to philosophize) was taught to me by Shakespeare, who says that "there is a tragedy in our lives because we do not look at the source of our troubles". Quite right. And by the way, it illustrates my life by reminding me of what Don Miguel Ruiz says in his book "the four agreements".... "What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, of their own dream".
That is, when I am totally immune to the opinions and actions of others, I will stop being the victim of unnecessary suffering, that is why I always remind myself that "age is a number" is not time. This life is going to go fast, so I live and let live.
Learning this cost me a lot!!!
From a very young age, single and engaged, I developed a self-sufficiency that what it accomplished was to damage my feminine self-esteem. I wanted to do everything, fix the car, support the house, deal with what I had to deal with and what I didn't have to deal with too.
That's when (I say) the weight of life fell on my spine with everything. But little by little, between prayer, spiritual response therapy, morning yoga, Zumba dancing, and the desire to be happy, I managed to get that phrase to really sink into my unconscious.
I began to see romance as a way of life, a way of loving myself. To feel good even when they call me "Mrs. old lady"... that's how I began the healing process in this stage of renewal and personal strengthening.
When you do what you like and dedicate time to yourself, the days become shorter, life becomes younger and your spirit stronger
Assuming, was what made me have and become aware of my self-improvement process, is the clearest evidence of my true evolution and spiritual growth to let the weight of life flow and release it has taught me that it is better not to take everything seriously and laugh at oneself to work the process of self-esteem ... This is also called neutral, balanced and conscious selfishness.
There is an amazing growth of coaches and therapists with fingers on the keyboard, (because everything they say and do is writing in the networks), and according to what they write "should serve to strengthen our self-esteem". Almost everyone tells you -or pretends- to tell you what to do, or what to stop doing, and personally, I don't even stop my own opinion many times, imagine if I am going to pay attention to yours or to those who write in the networks... for me, it is a No to criticism and a No to what everyone else does.
And the thing is that this type of person who points left and right forgets the three fingers that are left pointing to the other side. That's how I woke up today, determined to continue giving myself the power that no one else wants to give "meaning" to my life. It is good to remember that we only attract what we need, not everything we ask for. What I am saying leads me to the eternal dilemma that becomes a very thin line between ego and self-esteem and that is demarcating my life.
Do I like myself or do others like me?
Many times we want to be gregarious, but we find it difficult to recognize the success of others. Without realizing it, we can come to want someone else's life. And that distances us from the "real" truth, which is the perfect plan that life has for each one of us... I also look at myself in that mirror, and I am very cautious about it, and that is my truth... total! If I am the director of my film and I want to be the best possible producer... It is better that every day, every chapter, I try to improve. In order to reach this goal I repeat to myself many times "I will "mute" the judgment of others, and I will focus my steps to be happy and yes: to like myself! Very much.
My wish for this day is to see those who criticize me and run over me as a mirror of learning to let it go and not to enter into useless discussions ... It is a lesson that I have to learn by developing my circle of trust and trying to add and multiply what is worthwhile. That is, without hurting others.
