The glory awaits you
“Prudence,” the wretch will advise you so that your goals do not reach. “Be careful,” the envious will say to keep you. “Wait,” the opportunist will yell to catch up with you. Don’t listen, be brave. The glory awaits you if you don’t listen to the one who doesn’t want you to advance.
-
Connection
The links are bridges that resist the cruelties of time and the passing of the years, unions that transcend the vicissitudes of fate and the vicissitudes of chance. Ties that cannot be untied. That is why they only occur between people who connect and genuinely appreciate each other.
-
Stay the course.
Stay the course. Don’t take shortcuts. Do not get distracted. Don’t waste time, let alone hope. Don’t make someone wait for you. Don’t stray. Be strong. Be constant. Be brave. And you will go further than you ever dreamed.
-
You deserve the best
To you who forgave who did not forgive you. To you who supported who did not support you. To you who suffered for those who did not suffer for you. To you who consented to what no one consented to. Just tell you that life goes on, and you deserve the best.

Dear universe:
Help me put together what’s left of the shipwreck. So that I can float and not drown so that I can navigate and not drift; so that I can reach port, so that I can defeat the enemy, so that my trip to hell has not been just one way.
-
Learn to let go
Times can be good and bad. But the important thing is not to get attached to them. Because if you stick to the good when the bad comes, you will have twice as bad. And if you cling to the bad, when the good comes, you won’t enjoy it. So learn to let go.
-
It is better to give than to keep
Because when you give, you invest. Cause when you give, you get. Because when you give, you learn. Because when you give, you thank. Cause when you give, you grow. Cause when you give, you live. And that is priceless. Postscript: Thank you for giving me a little bit of your time.
-
It’s never too late until it is
So don’t keep any “I love you,” “I care about you,” “I miss you,” or “I invite you to a coffee.” And much less a hug accompanied by that phrase so challenging to articulate, “I beg your pardon,” or his twin sister, “I forgive you.”
-
Stand your ground
May your night not be able to do more than your day. May your darkness not be able to be more than your worth. May your anguish not be more than your joy, that your pain cannot be more than your smile. Nothing can do with your desire to live life.
-
Dear player

Don’t get angry.Don’t lose your joy.Don’t be offended.Don’t care what they say.Don’t be confrontational.Don’t waste your energy. You will need it to celebrate all the successesthat life has in store for you after your hard work.
-
Don’t settle
Don’t settle for less than you are worth, even if you don’t have a throne or parade on red carpets. Don’t settle for less than you are worth because you reign even if you don’t wear a crown. Don’t settle for less than your worth because you deserve the glory, not the leftovers.
-
The opportunity train
Don’t let your ears be sugarcoated by those who want to waste your time, or you’ll miss the opportunity train. And that is a mistake you will regret. Because no one knows when it will come, and those who miss it don’t know if it will return.
-
Value yourself
Get used to saying no to what does not suit you.Get used to not wasting your time with banalities.Get used to not being mediocre.Get used to valuing yourself.Because your time is worth a lotand you are capable of great deeds So don’t settle and go ahead.

Wise man advice
A wise old man once told me, “There are two missions in life; the first is to discover who you are.” And as he fell silent, I asked him, “And the second, master?” “To accept it,” he replied. He was right, though I would add a third mission, “To be happy with it.”
-
Toxic relationships
There are situations in life that are like an ungrateful lover who blames you for everything but at the same time cannot live without you. And we don’t realize it, but they would cease to exist without our consent. So don’t hesitate: break your relationship with the toxic and be happy.
-
We not only cry when it hurts
We also cry when our heart is moved by something minuscule that has a major significance for us (even if no one else understands it). Crying is not only a sign of pain but also of gratitude for the miracle of life: for what we have lived.
-
Appreciate those by your side
When the extraordinary becomes every day, we stop appreciating it. And when indifference ends up costing us our smiles, we understand that… “We were happy and didn’t know it.” So don’t get used to it, and appreciate those by your side daily.
-
Everything has its time and place.
There are seasons of life that we turn into our Sanctum Sanctorum. And remembering those paradises that time snatched away from us, we feel that life has lost its color. And it’s not true; every season has its charm. And there’s a time for everything under the sun. Remember it!

Being alone
And he looked at me like someone who wants to confess a sin and said: “Being alone isn’t so bad either; you always have the hope that life will surprise you. What’s bad is being with someone and feeling lonely because, in that case, all you can expect is a slow agony.”
-
Take care of the one who cares for you
When you have forgotten meat the moment you least expect.Something will remind youall that I’ve fought for you.And you’ll look for my number,but you’ll have erased it. Moral of the story: take care of the one who cares for you, or you’ll regret it.

Repeat in front of the mirror
I like you, Because you appreciate things when they are, not when they’re gone.Because you value what you have not what you lack.Because you learned to lose, but not to give up.Because the word impossible never went with you. But mostly becauseyou don’t try: you do it.

Nobody knows you
People will confuse what they think they know about you with who you really are. And you won’t be able to avoid being judged by that little part they know that excludes all the hell you’ve been through and don’t tell anyone about. So forget what people will say and fight for yours.

Sometimes losing is winning.
The universe doesn’t want to hurt you; it wants you to fulfill yourself. What happens is that growing hurts. And sometimes we don’t understand that.

The more you fail, the more you learn
What a pity that so few dare to fail for fear of what people will say. Because the abundance that everyone seeks is born out of mistakes, the more you fail, the more you learn. (And, besides, he who doesn’t try regrets it). Dare to make mistakes! And you will come out as a winner.

The worst part of watching someone suffer
