I try to look into your eyes, but you don’t want to look at me, you see me and lower your sight; Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid of what you will see through my eyes? I guess you are, Armored Man. You will see yourself, reflected. The other day I tried to talk to you, but you rolled your eyes and walked away; You don’t want to listen

Photo by: Paola K; Kyoto, Japan I’m sitting right now in my favorite place in the living room: At my writing desk, gazing at the wonderful forest that happen to be right in front of my house. I took a small break to observe my surroundings: I like to see my living space tidy, clean, organized… nothing should be out of place. That gives me a good feeling, you know? Like a feeling that things are going well. Disclaimer: You don´t want to see the same living space I am describi

Me gustaba ver cómo algunas caminaban de distinta manera- algunas muy erguidas y la mirada al frente, como si estuvieran felices de enfrentar lo que se encontraran en el camino- otras caminaban más bien cabizbajas, con la mirada perdida en el piso. Cuando observaba a las primeras me inspiraban cierta confianza. Cuando veía

Photo by Ena Marinkovic on Pexels.com No podemos negar que nos encantan las rutinas. El hombre es rutinario por naturaleza. Está en nuestro DNA. Desde hace mucho tiempo atrás me he preguntado porqué tenemos tanta obsesión por las rutinas… ¿Porqué son tan importantes para nosotros? ,¿Porqué nos gusta convertir nuestra vida en repetidos rituales? De alguna manera creo que es una manera de darle un sentido a nuestra vida. Vivir puede ser algo bastante escalofriante, cuando no te

Everywhere you look, you get confronted by a lot of advertising encouraging you to get the “good habits” and to stop the “bad habits”. You can find hundreds of books in the bookstores or Amazon: “Habits for success”, “Atomic habits”, “Every single day, get smarter, better and faster by changing your habits”… the list is endless.

I heard the word “Adversity” first time when I was a child, watching the Disney cartoon Mulan. Towards the end of the story, when Mulan just left the Imperial Palace with the great ovation from the croud for having rescued China from The Huns invasion, the Emperor watches her leaving with attention and turns to the Military Captain to tell him “The Flower that blooms in adversity, is the most rare and most beautiful of all”.
