There is a big difference between trust and belief,
trust is personal,
belief is social.

I believe one of the biggest challenges we face as human beings is believing in ourselves.

What is believing in oneself? Is to know and to feel you, is accepting, approving and loving yourself unconditionally, feeling worthy and creator of your destiny, for me, is to feel capable of everything despite the adversities that sometimes leave us with a single answer, hidden pessimism that becomes our truth.

Like I‘ve said a couple of times, the environment makes us believe we‘re not capable because “possibly we‘re not that special“, because we don‘t have a skinny figure“, “we weren‘t born rich, so we have to work hard to eat, not to dream“, “because only famous people deserve to be rich, recognized and good–looking“, “our talents are insufficient“, “Mom says that I should be a doctor just like Dad“ thus, taking away our desire to dream and live.

Long time ago I talked you about the fear I felt when I started my life mission, that is helping people to awake their consciousness, to trust, and make them feel aware of the situations they are experiencing in their life, I do it through conferences, therapies, workshops, writings, etc. In the hope this allow me to join people in their most difficult processes while I‘m with them holding their hands. I had a hard time believing in my project because I listened to others who told me: Are you sure? “Wait until you are more prepared“, “don‘t even think about leaving your work, keep it and see what happens“, “It“ll be hard“; those words filled me with fear, terror, uncertainty, and my inner dialogue was: “You‘re crazy, it“ll take you years to get there“ so I constantly thought: “Forget it and look for something better“

My mind told me in a disheartening tone: “How hard is to be in a place that doesn‘t fullfill you and feeling like you don’t have any other choice“ I thought my happiness worth a certain amount of money every month while I remained seated waiting for my dream to come true, I wanted and I divided my energy between my job and my passion; and while I was deciding what to do everything happened, robberies, I crashed my car, friends left, lost my job, I felt disconsolate, sad and lonely, I took my time to ask myself why? So I chose to see it as a sign and told myself: “It’s my time, time to believe in me and my infinite possibilities“, like I always say “We are our best chance and our biggest limitation“.

What I‘m trying to say with this, is that sometimes we prefer to listen others advices that are nurtured with their own fear which automatically we turn into our own, instead of listening to ourselves, we prefer to put our dreams in the realization of others and that makes us believe is impossible to accomplish what we want.

When I talked you about our shadow, I told you that we need to connect with it through our own knowlegde and that we need to start integrating it from our self-approval, and make us conscious of what’s behind that prevents us to do it, thus, we‘ll reach to our true self who knows what we are passionate about. When you identify it, please go for it without stopping yourself because I‘m sure that’s where your best talents are.

I would tell you, try, and if that’s not the way, choose another one and if that one doesn‘t convince you change of strategy until you feel you’re taking the right steps, always trusting the faith that’s within you and not the one you see outside. Please walk without hindering time or trying to use it as your scape weapon, because I’ll tell you something, there‘s always life, there‘s always time and you…are walking next to them.

I admire and honor ourselves,
