“Something very beautiful happens to people when their world has fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point when our knees hit the floor”

Hello dear steemians!!!

I want to apologize for my absence, during this time, but as you know, I was studying. I graduated from the Andrés Bello Catholic University with the best grades and obtained my Certificate as a Project Specialist in the Management Program for Community Organizations.
Thank you...

Today I invite you keep watching this space as we continue to write our own history.....

You need a set of impartial, non judgemental eyes

Surrender to win. It is a paradox that is difficult to understand at first. But the more you realize that all your worry and anxiety is wasted energy and that there is higher power that loves you and is willing to be your partner, the more you can tap into the power surrender. Love brings with it the power to dissolve all negativity and conflict. Love attracts kindness, security, peace, and affection and is activated by giving it away and extending it into any situation.

I want to share with you the love story of my wonderful friend Agatha, with whom I studied in my country, Venezuela, and shared unforgettable moments when I was being younger. Today she lives in Brasil and she has shown courageous steps necessary to move us to the destination we all desire and aspire to, and which the people who sent us here very well deserve, that a dream can only be fulfilled if one has confidence that it will come true in the midst of adversity:

“My friend of 15 years and I began a relationship after his marriage of 28 years broke down. They’d been apart for a year when I told him how I’d always loved him. We’d always been good friends and I never thought I’d get to love him in this way. We don’t live in the same city so in a period of 6 months I saw him twice for a week each time. This was very intense and in between times we’d talk everyday. I did know he was uncertain as to what he wanted and so I kept asking him if he was ok to keep the relationship going. I was always honest about how I felt and fell in love with him. Just before my second trip to see him I found out my mum was dying so I was feeling very vulnerable. I felt the second time I saw him that his heart wasn’t in it in the same way and I tried to talk to him. He wouldn’t respond and, in the end, he broke up with me via messenger. I was (and still am) really heartbroken. He seemed to expect me to go back to being friends straight away and I tried. There is so much that is good in him, but I’m struggling to reconcile what he did with who I thought I knew him to be. I thought I was going crazy for a while as it’s very hard to communicate only via electronic media. We’ve only spoken once on the phone since December as he prefers to message or email. I was very conflicted and rang a friend of his to gain some clarity. I told him I’d done this as I wanted to be open but now, he’s angry at me for betraying the friendship and punishing him. It all just seems like such a huge mess and I’m finding life pretty hard. I’d like to forgive him and I’d like him to forgive me, but somehow, I think only time will heal these wounds….”

She is going through a lot. She has experienced a double loss, both a relationship and her mother, which is huge. My friend Agatha combines two main ideas: the firm belief that one's goals can be achieved despite adverse fate, the contrast between the naivety of childhood and the burden of adulthood, and lofty thinking helps one avoid harmful limitation, but it is not easy to establish an appropriate level of beautiful and lofty thought amidst life's misfortunes, and very few are prepared to unsderstand that it is lifes´s diffficulties themselves that can assist lofty thinking.

Two months after my friend Agatha told me her story, I received a phone call one night, and she told me that she had talked with her boyfriend and they happily reconciled.

Only with uplifted thinking could such unity, based upon fullest trust, exist. Adversity, similar to lava, appears to destroy everything in its way. But out of the ashes and smoke, new, better, and stronger things emerge that may have not been born in any other way.

Each one of us has to carry the high thought and all the joy, even in the difficulties and adversities of life. I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, but taking of the man his best and worst characteristics, they show extreme situations that leave to us positive lessons.

"Have an excellent week, and let each of you manage to focus on that task that has not yet been completed, that today is one of those days where you managed to break with the common life and take a step closer to that continuous improvement"
