“Alone we were never anything, but together we will be everything we want to dream of.” (Anonymous)

“Alone we were never anything, but together we will be everything we want to dream of.” (Anonymous) But first, we must recognize that it will never be easy to hear negative or derogatory comments about what others might think we are, or what we believe or what we create. However, when we allow (even unconsciously) the other (a) to reach us and we stop creating or believing that our ideas have value, the destructive criticism wins. Therefore, we have the power to equip ourselves with the greatest and best “armor” known to us, confront the critics of their “wraths”, and constructively follow what we believe, but... above all, as Eleanor Roosevelt one day said “Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you'll be critized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t”. ("Let's do what we think is right in our heart - for you will be criticized anyway. You will be "loathed" if you do, and "loathed" if you don't") Or as in a good old popular saying: "Arrested for having a dog and imprisoned for not having one”! So let us always be faithful to ourselves, have ideas, dream and build our dreams! But, always with the perception that with the “right dose” of creativity and reality, you never know what it will be possible to create! "We are what life wanted to make of us. We are what is left of our dreams, and at the same time we live by the dreams we still have to build. Choose what makes your heart flutter... Despite all the consequences. ” (Osho) There is an old saying that before we go out and point the finger at the attitudes of others, before we criticize and judge the people around us, we stop and simply listen. We must learn to listen to people and not just listen to them, do we know the difference? When we listen, we are attentive to the content, we can feel what the message conveys to us. Listening is just the sound of words entering our eardrums... “Let's not try to find a shortcut, because there are no shortcuts. The world is a struggle, it's hard, it's a painful task, but that's how you reach the peak. Let's listen to the sounds of nature and listen to people in the same way. Let us listen without imposing anything on what is being listened to – let us not judge, because the moment we judge, listening ceases.” (Osho) We all must be aware that life is not always the way we want and dream, that is how sometimes we all feel that nothing is enough and we always want more, and everything causes us some dissatisfaction. All of this makes us ambitious and “we run incessantly” after this “MORE”. This is how we become hostage to the verb “TO HAVE” and “BEING” becomes more important than “BEING”. We live by giving more answers and asking fewer questions. But today, the reality is that we need more smiles, endless hugs and many other possibilities, we need time to live and keep going back to those places and people that make us happy. We don't need much to continue each day as if it were the last, we need love, faith, gratitude and a lot of hope. “Do you have any idea how many lives we had to go through before we had the first intuition that there was more to life than eating, or fighting, or holding an important position within the pack? Most of us have come a long way. We went from one world to another, which was practically the same as the first, forgetting right away where we came from, not worrying about where we were going, living in the present moment.” (RICHARD BACH - From the book: FERNÃO CAPELO GAIVOTA)
