Stop, you can change the circumstances

Personal crises are extraordinary opportunities to grow and this is possible when we recognize our leading role in such events... "We are not victims of circumstances, we create our own circumstances. However, on several occasions we ask ourselves surprised why things happened as they happened and we immediately look for a culprit or responsible to safeguard our irresponsibility. Of course, there are events resulting from chance beyond our control, such as an earthquake, a storm, an accident in which we were not protagonists: another was driving, a stone fell, lightning, etc., but in most of the Sometimes it is not chance but causation; We ourselves produce that we were fired from work, that our partner abandoned us, that there is no communication with our children among many other situations we are going through and that we believe are inexplicable. Personal crises are extraordinary opportunities to grow and this is possible when we recognize our leading role in such events...

An obstacle along the way

A stone along the way ... An obstacle to solve ... A lesson to learn ... Long ago, a king placed a large rock obstructing a path. Then, he hid and looked to see if anyone removed the tremendous rock. Some of the wealthiest merchants of the king and courtiers came and simply turned him around. Many blamed the king loudly for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything to get the big stone out of the way. Then a farmer came, and carried a load of vegetables. When approaching the rock, the farmer put his load on the floor and tried to move the rock to the side of the road. After pushing and getting very tired, he made it out. While picking up his load of vegetables, he noticed a wallet on the floor, just where the rock had been. The wallet contained many gold coins and a note from the same king indicating that gold was for the person who removed the stone from the road. the peasant lernt what others never understood. Each obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one...

Rain Relief

A story of selfless help with an unexpected ending ... It began with the help of an elderly lady on a rainy night ...  One night, at 11:30 p.m., an elderly woman was standing at the edge of a highway, trying to withstand a heavy storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed to be taken. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young man stopped to help her, despite the heavy rain. The young man took her to a safe place, helped her get assistance and put her in a taxi. She seemed to be in a hurry, so she wrote down the young man's address, thanked her and left. Seven days passed, when they knocked on the door of his house. To his surprise, a giant color TV was delivered to his house by mail. Had a special note attached to the package. It said: "Thank you so much for helping me on the highway the other night. The rain flooded not only my clothes but my spirit. Then you appeared. Thanks to you I was able to reach the side of my dying husband'...

Time to renew

Do not wait to be forced to leave the stage; If you notice that you have excessive exhaustion, a very important symptom that the alarm system of our body is ringing and warning that we are very prone to make mistakes, the time has come to withdraw and recharge. Have you thought about the importance of "coming back" to renew? We have dazzled ourselves with the illusion that only advancing, growing or progressing are synonymous with success, and in this context it seems painful to stop to evaluate what has been done, to verify the path already traveled. If, after each action taken, on each section of the road, we stopped and gave account of the trip, we could realize that we have made some mistakes, which hurt us a lot, and that are the costs that we have to pay for the bad decisions. Just as the explorer frequently consults a compass, establishes the route on the map and constantly verifies its position in order to reach its destination, a leader must have "super-vi...

Errors that can be prevented or corrected

Error No. 1: The illusion that personal gains are achieved by crushing others. Despite the years that have passed, this is a serious problem that still accompanies us. Many people believe that they can become more important by finding fault with others. We must be alert, because on many occasions, our criticisms are synonyms for deficiencies. To avoid or correct this error, focus on your own life and how to improve it. There are two ways to build the tallest building in the city: One is destroying all other buildings; The other is to work in your own building and see how it advances. Error No. 2: The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. It is not worth worrying about things you have no control over, because if you cannot do anything, it makes no sense to worry. Second, it makes no sense to worry about the things you have control over, because if you have control, there is no reason to worry. When you can do something, change your attitude and ...

The pianist

There are people who would like to give half a life to achieve what others have achieved and also, there are those people who gave more than half a life to achieve their dreams in life ... To which of the two do you belong ...? The concert hall was complete; Moreover, some standing assistants were observed in the back, urging the presence of the artist; the tickets had sold out a month before its presentation; One of the best pianists in the world was the protagonist of such great expectation. When it was about to start, he appeared on stage. The ovation did not wait, there was a deep silence, and the first notes of the Poloness of Chopin were heard. As I progressed in his masterful execution we saw the transformation of the artist; the passion was growing, his face manifested a deep concentration that was reflected in each note with an emotion that seemed more to be playing with the heart than with the hands. Pensamiensto and Reflections: The Pianist Sweat covered h...

Being lazy is not an option

These are times of sustained efforts, of constancy, perseverance and of applying ourselves thoroughly if we really want to emerge as people, families and nations of winners. We urgently need to break with the light circle (current of contemporary behavior that is characterized by the law of least effort) if we want to move forward, and it can only be achieved through effort. A group of young people were asked: "Who had the acute laziness attacked?", And they were asked to raise their hands, half did, the other half did not raise it because they had "laziness." Today, our most important and immediate challenge is to shake off passivity and lethargy, which are the most notorious symptoms of mediocrity, they are times of sustained efforts, of perseverance and perseverance, of applying ourselves thoroughly if we really want to emerge as people, families and nations of winners. We will have time to rest the day they tell us: rest in peace, secula seculorum,...

Relationships with others

You and I live in constant interpersonal relationships that we should value and that we would like to keep. However, each of us is a different person, with his own needs and the right to meet them ...  Please read the following paragraphs and realize that you are narrating it to the people with whom you interact. Then DECIDE: “When you have difficulties to solve your problems, I will try to listen to you cordially and help you, in order to find your own solutions, instead of relying on mine. In the same way, I will try to respect your right to choose your own ideas and to develop your own values, even if they are different from mine. When your activity interferes with what I must do to meet my needs, I will communicate openly and honestly how your behavior affects me, trusting that you will understand me and help in whatever you can. In the same way, when some of my actions are unacceptable to you, I hope you will communicate your feelings with sincerity. I will listen to...

What it took

The story of a son's discussion with his father before leaving home ...  In addition, I tell you: I'm leaving the father of your house ... I say it like that, of your house! Because I don't feel it mine. Because although I have lived here since the day I was born, when I began to understand, I understood, I must say so, I understood that being born is not enough to be your son, to have your tenderness and to have your love. And that's why I'm leaving, and thanks! I say it sincerely, nothing was missing by your side, neither the house, nor the school, nor the favorite toy, nor the clothes you saw me today or the car I used yesterday ... But, am I so ambitious, I seem so demanding if I tell you that it is not enough, that it was not enough neither the money, nor the clothes, nor that car, nor this house, because I want -because I always wanted- something more that I did not you gave? And your bulky wallet, always a source of material remedies, never had th...

The injustice

The touching story of a man, unjustly imprisoned, who has the ability to visualize in injustice, a reason to continue and be better ... She, her mother, watched her son with infinite sadness, it was a day of visitation and the inmates were allowed a brief interview, the mature man, unjustly detained, had already been in jail for several months, was an unclean cell full of rats, flies, spiders, no windows with an overwhelming and humid heat, she now saw a man who was deteriorating day by day, the colors had escaped from his face, the skin showed purulent eruptions, but the deepest wound was injustice that immersed him in a deep depression and at that moment face to face with the being he loved most, he exclaimed: - Why? Because I? To which she simply and comfortingly replied: - This is what God wants And his son replied: - Does GOD desire the evil, injustice and suffering of his children? No mother, that is not the case, if something hurts me deeply it is to see my children...

Blood donation

The story of a child who was willing to donate everything to save the life of the one he loved ... Many years ago, when a doctor worked as a volunteer at a Stanford Hospital, he met a little girl named Liz who suffered from a strange disease. His only chance to recover apparently was a blood transfusion from his 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and developed antibodies necessary to fight the disease. The doctor explained the situation to the girl's brother, and asked if he would be willing to give his sister his blood. For a moment, he saw him doubt before taking a big sigh and say; Yes, I will, if that saves Liz. While the transfusion continued, he was lying on a bed next to his sister's, and smiling as the doctors assisted him and his sister, he saw the color return to the girl's cheeks. Then the boy's face turned pale and his smile disappeared. He looked at the doctor and asked in a trembling voice: At what time will I s...

The question on the exam

A simple question in an exam reminds us of the importance of all the people we know ...  During my second semester at school, our teacher gave us a surprise exam. I was a conscious student and quickly read all the questions, until I read the last one: What is the name of the woman who cleans the school? Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen many times the woman who cleaned the school. She was tall, dark hair, about fifty years old, but how would I know her name? I delivered my exam, leaving the last question blank. Before the class was over, someone asked the teacher if the last question would count for the exam grade. Absolutely, said the professor. In your careers you will meet many people. All are important !!! They deserve your attention and care, even if they just smile at you and say: Hello! I never forgot that lesson ... I also learned that her name was Elena.

The boy and the waitress

The story of a boy who surprises a waitress with a simple act ... On the days when ice cream cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered an establishment and sat at a table. The waitress put a glass of water in front of him. - How much does a chocolate peanut ice cream cost? the boy asked. - Fifty cents, replied the waitress. The boy took his hand out of his pocket and examined a number of coins. - How much does an ice cream cost alone? He asked again. (At that time there were some people who were waiting for a table and the waitress was already a little impatient). - Thirty-five cents she said abruptly. The child returned to counting the coins. - I want ice cream alone, said the boy. The waitress brought her ice cream, put the bill on the table and left. The boy finished the ice cream, paid in the box and left. When the waitress came back, she started cleaning the table and then it was hard to swallow with what she saw ... There, placed neatly next to th...

Sow positive actions in your life

"Excellence is the art that is achieved through training and habit, we are what we do repeatedly ... Excellence, then, is not an isolated act but a habit" ... Understanding the collective unconscious in the way it is approached by a giant of the psychology of our time: Carl Gustav Jung, will allow us to understand why we are the way we are, or why some countries have fared better than others ? Why have certain towns more easily found the way to prosperity than the Asian tigers have done? Why do some towns differ so much from their closest neighbors in North America? All the peoples of the world are identified by a similarity in their habits, thereby shaping the customs that are the central part of all cultures; Thus the Jewish rituals have kept a series of traditions that identify and differentiate them from other peoples for centuries and we could say the same about Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. And so for generations over hundreds of years there are customs th...
