You can only be in one place “inside yourself” wherever you go.
You see yourself as a place where you go to work. And you should see yourself as a place where you can also go to rest. But you don’t, do you? A voice inside you torments you: “Tick tock, time is ticking, and you have already wasted too much.” But at the same time, there…

It’s amazing how everything is designed to make you believe that material things will make you happy, when happiness is immaterial. Happiness is invisible and is felt inside.

Love as merchandise.
We have turned everything into merchandise: kisses, hugs, caresses, and even attention. Everything seeks a return.

Magic is
A hug, a smile, a good morning, a “How are you?”; a silence between friends, a “I want everything if it’s with you.” Magic is knowing that you are valued and loved. Because magic exists. And is born from those who share our way.
-
Intuition
You can’t find with your eyes what you don’t know you’re looking for. Only the heart can do it. That’s why we say “I have a hunch” when something beats us in the subconscious, and we feel an “I told you so” in our guts when we ignore our intuition.
-
Ignore
He wanted to offend you but couldn’t; that’s why he got upset. He tried to hurt you but couldn’t; that’s why he was offended. He wanted to belittle you but couldn’t; that’s why he exploded. He tried to humiliate you, and he couldn’t; that’s why he became bitter. Note: ignore him!

My grandfather always told me this riddle: As a child she was everything what I wanted to be when I grew up. Then I grew up and forgot her. And now that I’m old, I remembered. But my time has passed, I didn’t make it. Who did I look for and did not find? Answer:…

People are like seasons
There are charming as spring. There are fun like summer. There are sentimental ones like autumn. There are familiar ones like winter. But the ones I like the most are the ones that accompany you all year round.
-
Many times
We suffer a lifetime for not facing 5 minutes of an uncomfortable conversation. We don’t find the courage to whisper what our heart cries out. Instead, we are overcome by fear and subjugated to a withered existence. Be brave. Don’t let it happen!
-
Some things do not have to beg
Some things do not have to beg, like love and friendship. Because if you have to ask for it, it’s not worth having. Either it comes out, or it doesn’t come out. But you can’t demand it.
-
A golden cage
No matter how beautiful its bars are, a golden cage will always be a prison. Living surrounded by luxuries and comforts will never be synonymous with being lucky since there is no greater misfortune than not being free in your private environment, where it is essential to feel respected.
-
Quality is better than quantity
I like people who don’t need a watch to know when it’s time to support. I like people who don’t need to keep accounts to realize that quality is better than quantity in friendship (like everything in life).
-
Don’t leave yourself for tomorrow
Don’t leave yourself for tomorrow or “for when you can.” Treat yourself today. Be kind to others. But also with yourself. Love yourself the best you can. And every morning, persevere. Don’t leave yourself for the end. You need yourself too. Prioritize yourself.
-
Your moment will come.
When things don’t go well, it’s not always because you do them wrong, but because they did not have to be. Remember: What is for one is for one. And whatnot, no. The universe knows what it’s doing. Trust! Your moment will come.

Take a break
Sometimes you want to shower, put on something comfortable, and sleep curled up; take refuge in your inner universe and forget all the stress and noise. Sometimes you want to take a breather. So please don’t feel bad, because it’s a well-deserved break.
-
What a beautiful feeling
What a beautiful feeling to trust someone with your eyes closed and not have to keep your guard up and your armor on. Knowing that your company is out of friendship and not out of interest because they came to add solutions, not to subtract with betrayals and lies.

Don’t give me sand when I’m desert.
Don’t give me sand when I’m desert. Don’t give me a cold when I’m winter. Don’t give me sadness when I’m tears. Better give me a hug, that floods my desert, that shelters me winter, that stops the crying. Better give me your hand. And tell me… If we fall down, we get up.
-
Some moments last a lifetime.
We keep magical moments under lock and key in the chest of memory, unique situations that give meaning to existence. They can be as sweet as a hug or as bitter as a farewell. But they are always unforgettable.
-
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.
-

When something bothers you, say so.
Don’t procrastinate.Be brave.Have difficult conversations.Listen first and speak up later.Communicate what bothers you.But don’t lose your temper,because the one who loses themends up not being right (even if he is).
-
Don’t get mad
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.

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.”

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.
