“One would say that the human can take everything (...), even the idea that he can take no more.” (William Faulkner)

“One would say that the human can take everything (...), even the idea that he can take no more.” (William Faulkner) We can understand life as something that imposes itself on all of us from the outside, like social impositions, for example. But we also need to listen to what is present within each of us. Let's listen to our nature, our feelings and desires. This is one of the main starting points for building our destiny! “There are worse things than being alone, but it usually takes decades to understand that, and almost always when we do, it's too late. And there is nothing worse than too late.” (Charles Bukowski) There are those who believe that the destiny of each one of us is already set. Everything has already been "written" and there is nothing more to be done to change our history in this world... But not everyone thinks like that…..often we can't control the events that happen, but it's always possible to choose the way to deal with them.” There are only two days in the year when nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and especially live.” (Dalai Lama) We often have the notion that the future is something very distant and abstract, but the truth is that the future could be tomorrow. To think and act today is to build what will come soon after. We tend to think that our future is something very distant and that it needs a lot of planning, but the truth is that the small steps we take today are what build our tomorrow. “It is the steps that make the way.” (Mario Quintana) We usually call what happens to us destiny, but the truth is that destiny is also the sum of the choices we make. Living stuck in the past is a waste of time, living waiting for the future is a waste, so remember: the time is NOW! As Fernando Pessoa said: “I always live in the present. The future, I don't know. The past, I no longer have it.” It is important to pay attention to our attitudes, act in a thoughtful way and think carefully before making our decisions. Let's not let the unconscious rule our life, let's always be in charge when making our choices. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. … Everything should become as simple as possible, but not simplified….. Because we have the destiny we deserve. Our destiny is according to our merits.” (Albert Einstein)
