“Better to add life to days than days to life.” (Rita Levi-Montalcin) “为日子增添生命比为生命增添生命更好。”(丽塔·列维-蒙塔尔辛) “Wèi rìzi zēngtiān shēngmìng bǐ wéi shēngmìng zēngtiān shēngmìng gèng hǎo.”(Lì tǎ·liè wéi-méng tǎ ěr xīn)

“Better to add life to days than days to life.” (Rita Levi-Montalcin) There are times when, in general, we are led to think “that maybe it won't be long before we go back to what we understood as “normal”….but, as always, there are those more “hurried” that make us “all pay” – and here we are back to the emotional instability of “having to live as if there was no tomorrow”, in which we should have already learned that these times are of doubts, questions and uncertainties and not to ignore all the things that can go wrong. “What surprises us most about humanity are the "men". Because they lose their health to save money. Then they lose money to regain their health. And because they think anxiously about the future, they forget the present in such a way that they end up living neither the present nor the future. And they live as if they were never going to die... ...And they die as if they had never lived.” (Dalai Lama) In reality our life has changed without any prior warning, today we have to live "in this new normal", where the old notion of normality as "life in the past" will be difficult to recover, we have to face the future and enjoy these extraordinary times as a source of learning and renewal, which will be easier or more difficult, depending on the adaptation of each one.” “Fight with determination, embrace life with passion, lose with class and win boldly, because the world belongs to those who dare and life is too beautiful to be insignificant.” (Charlie Chaplin) Everyone, at one time or another, or more often than not, we may not have the best thoughts about ourselves, questioning our abilities, talents, aptitudes, gifts, goodness… whether we are good or less good people. We must have the perception and clarity that the thoughts we have about who we are decisively influence how we feel, and behind them is the image that others give us of ourselves and a set of experiences lived throughout life. However, it is always possible to think differently, especially if our thoughts make us feel less good. Guilt weighs tons and carrying it on our backs can make our backs arch, and if we can't take our eyes off the ground we miss the spectacle that is life! Let's forget about others, let's focus on ourselves. Yes, we can and must be inspired, not feel the demand to be equal or to do the same. This is a utopia. We are unique. The others are unique. We can and must be inspired by remarkable people and paths in life who can contribute to our personal development and grow in love, generosity, integrity, empathy and forgiveness. “Don't 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. Whenever there are alternatives, be careful. Do not opt ​​for the convenient, the comfortable, the respectable, the socially acceptable, the honorable. Choose what makes your heart flutter. Choose what you would like to do, despite all the consequences.” (OSHO)
