Keep growing.
Things are going
to fall into
place, I promise.
You may not
understand
your current
obstacles right
now, but
eventually,
you will, and it
will all make
sense.
Everything is
coming together
exactly as it
should.
Reminder.
You can be the
main character in
your own life, and
still be a supportive
costar in somebody
else’s.
If you choose to
take part, you can
play an essential
role in helping other
people’s character
development.
Make sure you
don’t waste that
opportunity.
Do whatever you
can to make a
positive impact on
their story.
It’s unlikely you’ll
have another time like
this in your life when
you can’t do anything.
It’s hard, it’s different,
and it’s easy to feel
stuck, but it is out of
your control.
What is on your control
is what you do with
this time.
Use it to focus on
bettering yourself.
Focus on the things you
wanted to but haven’t
been able because of
outside distractions.
That way, when this is
over, you’ll come out
stronger on the other
side.
Make sure you’re
surrounding
yourself with people
who make you
happy.
There are 7.8 billion
people in the world.
There is no reason to
keep somebody
around that treats
you any less than
what you deserve.
I promise you there
are people out there
that will give you
everything you
ever wanted.
So, don’t settle.
I get it.
You have goals and
ambitions, and you
want them right
now, but slow down.
Don’t be in such a
rush to figure
everything out
because while you are
racing to reach the
next step, you’ll be
missing out on what’s
happening right in
front of you.
You still have a lot of
time to figure out
what do you want,
but what’s
happening right now
is going to help you
get there.
So, make sure you
pay attention.
I know, especially right
now, you want things to
go back to how they were,
but you can’t because
there is no back, and it
never can be.
Life only moves forward, so
you have to stop trying to
go back, or you will
always be disappointed.
There is only the present
now, which is unfolding
right before you at every
inhale and exhale you are
taking.
Your life isn’t paused, is
not delayed, is still
happening.
So, then the question is.
Are you fully aware of it?
Paying attention, even if
it’s completely different
from your ideal scenario?
You have to start
romanticizing your
life.
You have to start
thinking of
yourself as the
main character,
cause if you don’t,
life will continue to
pass you by, and all
the little things
that make it so
beautiful will
continue to go
unnoticed.
So, take a second
and look around,
and realize that it
is a blessing for you
to be here right now.
When you start
living for the small
moments, that’s
when you know
you are living.
The smell of coffee
in the morning, the
sound of rain
hitting your roof,
the different colors
of the sunset.
The big moments are
great when they
come but damn
those small
moments.
Those are truly the
ones that make life
worth living.
How exciting is it,
that some of your
best days haven’t
ever happened to
you, yet.
There is still so
much life ahead of
you, so much time
for late-night
adventures,
spontaneous road
trips, deep
conversations with
your best friends.
You have so many
memories yet to
happen, and they
are all waiting for
you.
Soulmates.
I think they exist, but I
think they exist in more
ways than how we
traditionally think of
them.
It doesn’t always have to
be romantical.
There are certain people
who come into your life
that you just connect
with on a different level,
and you know it’s not
the same without them.
You understand each
other perfectly, and this
person will always be
your significant other, it
could be your best friend,
your sibling, your
mentor, the person you
are dating, or whoever.
It is your person and you
are theirs.
You know it’s like a
certain way of looking
at life.
It goes deeper than the
surface level.
You see things that
other people don’t see.
This level of
appreciation for
existence, some people
have it, some people
don’t.
But people who do have
it, they aren’t just
letting life come to
them. They are seeking
it, actively, and
knowledgeably.
But if you don’t have
it, you can still obtain
it.
You just have to pay
attention to it and
appreciate every detail.
For just a second,
think about your
dream life. Imagine
it. Feel it.
Now come back and
listen to what I am
about to say.
You have the power
to make all of that
happen, it will
probably take work
and time, and
mostly it won’t be
easy. But it is
there, waiting for
you in your future
if you choose to go
and get it.
So, what’s your
move.
Life becomes a lot
easier when you
realize that
certain things
are out of your
control.
You can’t waste
your time
stressing about
what you can’t
change.
As long as you
are taking care of
everything
within your
power, you have
to have faith
that everything
else will fall into
place.
You can’t let
things from your
past stop you
from progressing
into your future.
What is done is
done.
Lessons will be
learned, you’ll
make mistakes,
but those will
only make you
better.
There is too much
in front of you to
be wasting your
time looking
back.
Imagine if I had told
you in the beginning
what 2020 had in store.
You probably would
have looked at me like I
was crazy, and then
thought to yourself:
there is no way I can
make it through
something like that.
And here you are.
The chaos has been long
and tiring but look at
how much you have
been able to adjust and
overcome.
You might have
changed; you have
endured, and you have
not given up.
Make sure you take the
time to appreciate
yourself and recognize
that strength.
Society tries to
tell us that we
have to live a
certain way in
order to be
fulfilled.
But if you try to
live up to that,
most likely you
will be
disappointed.
There isn’t a
perfect path
through life.
So, don’t sacrifice
your joy just for
the sake of social
norms.
You have to try
not to become so
distracted by
what you want
that you forget
what you
already have.
It is easy to get
caught up
thinking about
the destination,
but don’t forget
to appreciate
what is right in
front of you.
Being happy doesn’t
mean that
everything is perfect
and if you seat
around waiting for
it to feel like it is.
You will be chasing
something
unattainable
because nothing can
be perfect.
Life is too crazy and
unexpected to live
up to that world.
Happiness just
means you have
decided to look
beyond those
imperfections and
not let them define
you.
I promise you
that nobody has
everything
figured out. Life
is one big
learning process
that we are all
going through
together.
There will be ups
and downs, no
matter what
you do.
You just have to
keep in mind
that the lows
will make those
highs much more
worth it.
Every decision you
have made every
action you have
taken has led you
to this exact
moment.
The past has
already been
written, but what
you do from this
moment going
forward is up to
you.
If you need to choose
to ignore this and
continue with the
path you are on, or
you can get up and
make the most of
the life you have
been given.
It is your choice.
Don’t think for
a second you
don’t matter in
this world.
You are here for
a reason. Each
one of us has a
purpose and, if
you haven’t
found yours yet,
be patient.
It will come, and
when it does, it
will make sense
and, it will be
all worth it.
Life is too
short for it
to be
boring.
So, the
question
you have
to ask
yourself is
what
makes
you feel
most
alive?
Don’t forget that
this isn’t all there
is.
There is still a
whole world out
there you haven’t
seen yet.
New food you
haven’t tasted,
new people you
haven’t met,
certain emotions
you haven’t felt.
Don’t get stuck
looking only a
few feet in front of
you when the
possibilities are
endless.
Stop waiting.
Life isn’t meant to
be lived sitting
around hoping
something will
happen.
So, stop waiting for
change, waiting for
your big break,
waiting for them to
accept you.
The only way you
will achieve the
life you want is if
you actively seek
it.
It is your
responsibility to get
up and make it
happen.
How crazy is it to
think that each
person you pass by in
every window, in
every car is a life
that you are most
likely completely
separate from.
A whole story that
you know nothing
about.
And you can choose to
stay as an extra, just
passing by in the
background or if
given the
opportunity to play
even a small role to
make a positive
difference in
somebody’s life.
You can take it.
You will truly fell
like you are living
when you start
looking at
everything in the
world like it is a
miracle.
Because if I am being
honest, everything is.
The way the sun
gives life to the trees,
the air gives life to us,
the fact that there
are 7.8 billion people
in the world and no
two of us are made
exactly the same, or
the way that you
and I can be
thousands of
kilometers apart but,
you are still somehow
reading this.
You have to
remember that time is
a gift, not something
you are entitled to
and no matter how
hard you try, you
can’t control it.
There is no making it
go backwards or
stopping it.
The only thing you
can do is choose how to
spend the time you’ve
given.
You don’t know how
many more days or
years you have.
So, make sure you are
celebrating every
moment you get.
If this year has
shown us
anything is that
we can’t take life
for granted.
The world can
completely switch
up on us in a
second.
So, make sure you
are not waiting
until something is
taken from you to
appreciate it.
Enjoy the
moments, the
people, be conscious
on what you have
while you have it.
Remember.
Your past doesn’t
need you, your
future does.
It’s time to let go of
whatever is
holding you back.
Forgive, learn and
move on.
You can’t change
what has already
happened.
But how you react
to it, that is what
determines what
happens next.
It is not a mistake
that you are alive.
You have probably
asked yourself what
your calling is, why
you are her?
But you aren’t here
for just one singular
reason.
You are here for
many.
You have to make
sure you aren’t
getting so distracted
searching for your
big life purpose that
you feel desperate
just because it has
not presented itself
the way you
thought it would.
You have to
trust what is
meant to be
yours, will be
yours.
There are so
much more plans
for your life that
you could ever
imagine, so what
you have to do is
your part.
You also have to
have faith that
things are going
to end up
exactly as they
should.
At the end of
your life, I
guarantee you
won’t be
thinking about
the times you
played it safe.
The last thing
you want is to
look back and
realize that you
wasted years of
your life because
you were too
afraid to step
outside of your
comfort zone.
Listen, you
are going to
fall in love so
many times
before you find
the one you
will be
forever.
So, think of it
this way, you
are just one
broken heart
closer to
happily ever
after.
I know life can be
exhausting
sometimes, and
specially right
now, it doesn’t
really feel like
there is an end
inside.
But remember,
everything that is
happening is
preparing you to
become what you
are truly capable
of.
You will change
and grow from this
chapter and come
out even strong on
the other side.
It can be so easy to let
your obstacles be an
excuse, like thinking
you aren’t good
enough or telling
yourself you weren’t
given the right set of
circumstances.
And although it is
harder, it will be so
much more worthy if
you push those
thoughts out.
And do what you can
with what you were
given to achieve
what you want.
The world is yours for
the taking, you just
have to decide if you
want it.
There is too much out
there in the world.
Too many new things
to experience for us to
stay the same person
our whole life.
Who we are now it is
likely very different
from who you were six
months ago or who
you will be six
months from now.
And that’s ok.
Change can be scary,
but it is inevitable.
And without it you
can’t reach your full
potential or become
who you are meant to
be.
You’re not going to
understand
everything that
happens to you.
And you are not
supposed to.
There will be
moments that don’t
make sense and
times when you
feel like nothing is
working.
But be patient,
miracles often
disguise as
roadblocks.
And in the absence
of understanding,
your faith will be
strengthened.
Do you know how
incredible it is that
you’re here today?
Alive and
breathing?
You being brought
into existence is a
miracle.
The odds of you
being born were 1 in
400 trillion.
So, you were chosen
from your first
breath to your last.
Don’t forget that
each one is a
blessing.
What really
matters to you?
It is important you
know because what
matters to you
determines where
you put your focus.
And where you put
your focus
determines the
direction you go in
life.
While there is no
one clear path,
when you are
confident in the one
you are on, the
bumps on the road
along the way
won’t even face
you.
How do you define
happiness?
It can be anything,
like spending time
with family, being
in a certain place or
doing something you
love.
Whatever it is, I
think it is important
to be aware of the
things that bring
you joy.
Because then you
can actively seek
them.
Sometimes the
feeling will hit
unexpectedly, but
sometimes you will
have to find it by
yourself.
But what if I
told you that
you are
capable of
having the life
you want.
Because
everything
that you’ve
been searching
for has been
inside of you
the entire time
and once you
realize that,
you’ll be
unstoppable.
Somethings
aren’t meant to
last forever and
that is okay.
Certain people or
opportunities
will come into
your life never
having the
intention to
stay.
And although it
can hurt, there
is a good chance
that you’ll
learn more from
them leaving,
than if they
hadn’t.
I’m starting to
forget what your
voice sounds like.
The warm tone
that kept me
from the cold and
left goosebumps
with every
whisper.
I miss you but I
am too afraid to
call you and
listen to the way
you say my
name and lose
all the progress
that I have
made.
What if we started
talking again and
remember that we
fell for each other,
but the timing
wasn’t right and
now it is, and we
fall madly in love
and spend the rest of
our lives together
and have an
amazing family.
Don’t act like I
never meant
anything to you,
we both know I did.
