Bags and Wings

L iving in a world which changes so fast and sometimes in a strange direction, we can lose ourselves or we can become better person or not. In the planet Venezuela is really easy to change, to improve and still to get lost.  The danger is in to get lost, to lose focus, to concentrate in the wrong cause. It is so dangerous to lose focus; it is a trap, and sometimes takes forever to get of the trap. Imagine yourself living happy and then you start to lose your track without noticing, you put your focus in automatic function and suddenly you notice the automatic focus doesn’t work anymore and you fall in a deep and dark well, you want to climb that well but you need a rope, someone else to pull you, and a light to bright the way. It’s a long journey to be back, it’s hard, it’s a mental battle, just you and your thoughts, but then you open your mind and remember that there is a solution. First you repent, second you cry; third you call for help, fourth you find God to give ...

Two years ago when we arrived in the Planet Venezuela I set my goal which was live in here and try my best to be happy no matter what. After the first two weeks I realized that goal was very complicated, maybe unreachable with my own hands and my own wisdom, but there is something called perseverance, I never give up, and there is another thing called faith! These two ingredients are the key to reach your goals. Since day one God reassure that He was with me all the way to cross the finish line, I knew He had all planned, I knew his workout plan was tough but not unreachable. You know when you learn a new workout and then in the next day all your muscles are sore and you feel good about it. Even if it's hurting you are happy because you have the sensation of a well done job?!!! Anyway, after each "life workout" I crossed the finish line with a good "timing" and the sensation that I did my homework! Life is full of finish lines that we must cross...

  Past month we had several hours without electricity. Imagine yourself from morning to afternoon without lights, without a cold water to drink, or even without water because no electricity for a long time means any water. It’s not easy to get used to this situation, the beginning it’s so hard, I remember my first experience two years ago, I was reading and then everything was turned off! I froze and I thought to myself: “wow, its happening”! Since that day until now I learned to spend my “ecofriendly” hours with a good sense of humor. I listen to the silence, I disconnected from the high tech world, I read more, and the amazing thing happens – I have time to do nothing, or almost nothing! It’s a break from the rush hours! Of course sometimes I don’t like it, when I am too busy to wait, or to do nothing, sometimes I can’t afford the ecofriendly hours but still is not that horrible. We always get used to everything! Many houses have their own generator, we have 2! One pro...

Have you ever tried so badly to solve a problem and couldn’t it? Have you ever try and try to understand, to answer, to think, to analyze a problem and couldn’t it? Have you ever thought that you had the answer you were looking for and then you decided  to go for it and soon you realized that you had no chance at all? Anyway, I did! I had a sad situation in the past, I was decided to win a battle, I planned, I thought several times about it, I studied my thoughts, I searched for knowledge, I was so evolved in the situation that I forgot the most important thing…. I went to “war” and I was destined to lose since at the beginning. Yes, I had no chance whatsoever to be victorious.  Since the beginning  I wasn’t ready to lose, but I lost!  And then, I cried, yes, I cried for being such a naive person, for not to have the right words, for not planning better, for not win. It’s so hard to lose when you know you are right and they are wrong, but in life there is a terrib...
