  • Inner Peace, let go of judgments and stop complaining

    Inner Peace, let go of judgments and stop complaining

    Inner Peace Nowadays it becomes more and more complex to be at peace with oneself, it is often like trying to find an oasis in the desert. To find inner peace we need to do work on ourselves thanks to which we will be able to abandon the feelings of guilt, let go of judgment, and stop complaining.

    Accept what is

    The first fundamental step is to learn to accept things for what they are. – If you can change something, why are you worried, if you can’t change something, why are you worried? It is one of those phrases that inspired me the most and that taught me to accept what is. So I learned to distinguish between the things I can change and those I can’t change.

    A famous prayer of the Cherokee natives reads – Great spirit enables me to change what I can change and to accept what I cannot change. And give me the wisdom to understand the difference between them.

    The Buddha also left us great teaching, everything is impermanent, it is part of the nature of things. The sooner we welcome this reality, the sooner we free ourselves. Accepting things for what they are meant freeing oneself from the slavery of the mind and impersonation with one’s ego.

    Your inner peace does not depend on others

    It is necessary to understand that inner peace, like happiness or joy, is qualities of the soul. It is a condition that depends on you, do not put your peace in relation to what you live in your reality. You may think that you are not at peace because there is something around you that bothers you, creates problems for you.

    It is exactly the opposite, having no peace inside you, you don’t have it (and you don’t live it) even outside.
    The mind says – When everything falls into place, I will find peace. The Spirit says – Find peace and everything will be fine. Notice it, are you more identified with your mind or with your soul?

    The answers arrive

    Don’t be upset because you don’t have all the answers. Be serene, the answers to questions always come, if they come from the heart. Do not disturb your peace with the hassles of the mind, have a deep trust and you will see that the answers will come.

    Achieving inner peace does not derive from knowing everything, there is no need to have everything under control. The road to awareness is long and in the meantime, we can learn to walk it serenely, in peace with ourselves.

    Accepting that life is an endless path to learning will bring you closer to experiencing true inner peace. Don’t be in a hurry, time is an illusion, live in the present moment.

    Live in the present moment

    Most of the time we live, we worry about something that belongs to the past or something that hasn’t happened yet. Living in the present moment, on the other hand, is a prerogative of those who are at peace with themselves and live in a conscious way.

    Why worry about the past or the future? It is in the present moment that you sow the seeds of the future, so if you are worried about your future, you should stop and take care of your present.

    Only in the present moment can you achieve true inner peace. In the now there are no problems, no worries. There is only silence, and it is within that silence that peace can be discovered. Learn to live in the here and now.

    Gratitude and forgiveness

    We have some amazing tools at our disposal for self-work, two of which are gratitude and forgiveness. These are high qualities that nourish us with good vibes. They represent the key to access a dimension of peace and bliss.

    Through gratitude, we create the conditions to develop greater inner serenity and by forgiving (ourselves and others) we no longer allow anyone to destroy our peace. It is clear that it will be easier to be grateful for the happy experiences of our life, in fact, the difficult thing will be learning to thank and forgive our enemies or experiences of pain. Learning to forgive will allow us to feed our peace, not allowing external situations to ruin it.

    Where do you put your attention?

    As you may already know, energy follows your attention. Where you put your attention, energy flows there. What are you focusing on? Where do your thoughts lead you?

    Learning to consciously direct attention is important to regain mastery of the mind. Pay attention internally, observing what happens and paying attention to the emotions that arise within you.

    Do not allow what happens outside to shift your attention and waste energy. When you realize that a situation is pulling you away, make an effort of will and bring your attention back into yourself.

    Do meditation

    If you haven’t tried meditation yet, you are missing the opportunity to do a very important activity that can change your life. Meditating for twenty minutes a day can have a huge impact in all areas of your life and great benefits.

    Meditation is a tool that everyone can use to find that fundamental contact with themselves. The easiest and most natural way to clear the way to inner peace.

  • Loneliness helps us grow if it is accepted

    Loneliness helps us grow if it is accepted

    Loneliness is not an external condition, it does not mean that you have no friends or are not social. The sense of loneliness is an interior condition, apparently sad, but which helps us to grow. Loneliness is for the Spirit, what food is for the body (Seneca). This sentence contains the essence of the speech, solitude is necessary for our spiritual part, as food is for the body.

    It is solitude that concerns the search for an inner silence, which allows us to reconnect with our soul. That condition allows us to re-find that (apparent) emptiness which is the temple of our inner peace. It is a loneliness that we consciously choose, a condition we need.

    The problem arises when we suffer the condition of loneliness and do not accept it. The suffering that arises from this comes from the fact that we are dominated by the idea we have about loneliness, which makes us feel distant and separated from everything and everyone, in a condition of detachment that can lead to apathy and depression.

    If we manage to experience this state in a different way, then loneliness becomes our friend. First of all, it must be welcomed and accepted. The secret is not to be afraid of loneliness and not to run away. If you notice and observe, you will notice that it is more the fear of being or remaining alone that frightens us, rather than the loneliness itself.

    Secondly, we can observe how loneliness does not create any problems, but rather it is our way of seeing and living it that makes us suffer. It is the idea we have about being alone or the condition of feeling isolated that creates suffering and fear.

    We must begin to accept the fact that loneliness is part of life and that, like everything we live, we are creating it to find ourselves. Have you thought about it?
    In fact, learning to be alone (which does not mean being alone) is important for developing one’s freedom and growing internally.

    Feeling good with yourself is essential for a good inner balance, so we need a path that allows us to feel good about ourselves. On the other hand, to feel good with others you must first feel good about yourself (which is one of the most difficult things to do).

    After all, it is always possible to change one’s condition, since it is a consequence of our inner processes and our thoughts.

    Loneliness, change always happens first internally

    So loneliness is an ideal condition for doing good work on yourself. In fact, the most ancient souls or those who embark on a spiritual path often feel the need to retire in solitude, precisely to live the spiritual dimension more.

    Among other things, scientific studies have found that the most intelligent and creative people are those who live more secluded and withdrawn! So much so that those who have a more solitary life can develop more talent and a brighter mind.

    Therefore, finding spaces in your life in which you can cultivate presence, retreat, meditation is important, but this does not mean being alone, detached from the world or even less happy.

    Loneliness is not an unhappy condition, rather it allows us to find the place where true happiness is born. On the other hand, happiness does not depend on the outside, on what happens, on what you have, or on the people in your life!

    So if you are suffering from loneliness, you can try to turn this seemingly unpleasant condition into an opportunity to reconnect to your deepest part. On the contrary, if you fill your life because you are afraid of being alone, you could instead welcome moments of solitude to create the inner silence that will allow you to access that sacred space inside you from where everything comes from joy, happiness, peace.

  • Empathy, learn to use it to stave off loneliness

    Empathy, learn to use it to stave off loneliness

    Empathy will save us from loneliness, and perhaps even from the pandemic. Being able to put yourself in the shoes of others, to literally feel what they feel is a quality that makes us human and that can prove to be a winning weapon against isolation. As shown by a study by the University of San Diego in California on seniors living in Assisted Healthcare Residences.

    85 percent of the research participants reported feeling alone, but the extent of the perceived loneliness was very subjective even under the same conditions and social contacts. Those who had griefed, those who did not have sufficient socialization skills, and those who felt lacking in purpose in life felt the burden more. The ability to feel empathy was, on the contrary, protective of the bad thoughts associated with loneliness.

    The elderly who, when they felt alone, reacted by taking care of others, trying to do something for someone whose discomfort they perceived, did not feel as unwell as those who turned in on themselves because they were unable to understand the suffering of others. The key to overcoming loneliness would therefore be to make an effort to pay attention to the needs of those close to us, whoever they are, because this trains and improves social skills and because the connection with others is the exact opposite of loneliness.

    How to develop empathy

    Empathy is certainly an innate ability that can be improved over time, to connect with others more deeply. It is possible to develop greater empathy even in people with autism. This disorder includes interaction deficits, reduced sharing of interests, emotions and feelings.

    Scottish researcher David Jeffrey has provided doctors with some tips for engaging with their patients. Two suggestions are also particularly valid in everyday life.

    1- Paying attention to how the other feels and practicing in assuming the perspective of others means, in effect, imagining that you are the other, taking his perspective totally, considering the specific context, personality and life of the other. that person.

    2 – Meditation, together with creative writing and role-playing, is able to increase empathic abilities. Role-playing consists of playing the part of the person who is suffering, so as to understand them more deeply.

    Empathic abilities can be increased by imagining the story of a real character. Therefore, following the protagonist’s events in person induces you to use a different point of view from your own. Meditation and mindfulness courses can be useful for developing greater contact with one’s own and others’ emotions in a non-judgmental way.

  • Being humble in life makes us great people

    Being humble in life makes us great people

    Being humble is not synonymous with weakness. Humility is a concept that is very underestimated in Western culture, and above all so much misunderstood and misinterpreted. If you think about it, even in common language we use the word humility to define something poor, miserable.

    A humble lunch is an impromptu meal with what you have in the moment. A humble house is an essential, small home. Humility that refers to the human soul, however, has nothing to do with poverty and at the same time has nothing to do with modesty.

    Being humble, an arrogant heart does not see beauty

    If we get help from etymology, we discover that humility has a strong connection with the earth, coincidentally, the same root is used for man (homo), as if to say that actually human beings are linked to the ground. Man is then a fertile land that needs to be cultivated, someone who takes care of it.

    It is precisely here that the turning point takes place, being humble means giving light to one’s humanity through openness and encounter with others. We can be the person we are today only thanks to the presence of others in our life. Without them, we would be nobody, we could never be alone enough with ourselves to be happy.

    If you keep a proud and arrogant heart, you end up closing in on yourself and developing a pessimistic view, noticing around you only garbage and trash to be thrown away. Live the envy of other people, the perennial anger for what they have and what you do not possess.

    You focus on what is bad, you perceive a false reality in which you feel threatened by the world and you cannot find what is beautiful and good. You try to solve your problems by taking full responsibility and going by attempts without reflection, promptly aggravating the situation you live in.

    To persist in wanting to be perfect and to live in the conquest of the first place leads to not living. You remain devoid of stimuli because it is difficult to find something that moves the soul, that amazes, everything goes out in the flatness and there is neither sharing nor movement.

    Learn to practice humility

    Being humble in life does not therefore mean feeling inferior, nor having a passive and submissive attitude. It is not the same as silently undergoing the strength of those who want to step on us, but it means opening the window of the heart to look out on a world to discover and that leaves you amazed, breathless, thanks to its surprises hidden among the simplest things.

    How many mistakes have you made in your life? See the world with the eyes of a child, choose the path of humility to reach your frailties and limitations. You will take over new humanity that will have a hunger for growth and a desire to improve itself.

    You will discover that there is something to learn from everyone, that each person has something good to offer because humility teaches you to be rich in little, to seek happiness in the essential and not in great things.

    And if someone is hostile towards you, be humble, you will only be offended if you give them permission to do so. Understanding what the other is experiencing will help you stay in touch with who you are, don’t worry about him, but you can worry about him.

    I know it sounds utopian, but wouldn’t it be a better world if everyone took care of the person next to them, especially when he is overwhelmed by anger, anger, and hatred? This is what Gandhi did, following the philosophy of non-violence and love for the enemy.

    Finally, he brings attention to what you already have and feel a grateful person. it is the desire to possess that makes you feel bad because it distracts attention from what you already have, which however is often considered to be taken for granted.

    The highest expression of humility is being able to express gratitude for everything, even the smallest. Doing this teaches you to restore value to the pieces that color existence and without which the work of art called life would not exist.

    Being a humble person does not involve being oppressed or being trampled on. On the contrary, it allows you to rediscover your humanity with all its limitations and frailties, and then enrich yourself, grow and improve yourself thanks to the encounter with the other person. Abandon pride, open yourself to humility, and feel grateful to what surrounds you to be amazed by the beauty that resides in everything.

  • Solidarity is a fabric of authentic relationships

    Solidarity is a fabric of authentic relationships

    Solidarity is a word of Latin origin (in solidum), which means obliged. To be in solidarity, therefore, means to be obliged, to be linked to someone or something in a solid way. Solidarity is therefore the condition of those who are in solidarity with others, or of those who are solidly linked with someone.

    In our day the term solidarity has not changed its original meaning. Perhaps it is our culture that has changed the meaning of this term by maintaining a high value of the word itself but calling it into question only after very serious episodes and calamities in general.

    In fact, we speak of solidarity only when a population is hit by a meteorological or climatic disaster, or in the media when there is a need to help a poor wretch placed on the sidelines of our deeply selfish and individualistic society.

    If I had to give a very rough definition of solidarity I would say that it is doing something for someone less fortunate than me. But thinking about it more carefully I feel like saying – that’s all?

    As for what concerns our society, I believe that we must overcome the thin veneer of superficiality that suffocates our existence and investigate more deeply the true meaning of the word solidarity. So I would start by saying that solidarity is truly a bond that must bind us in a solid way.

    And therefore I do not think that solidarity can end in sending a text message for the victims of a flood or for the earthquake victims or for the incurably sick. I am not saying that this is all wrong, but it is not enough. It is not enough to be in solidarity.

    Solidarity passes through authentic relationships

    For me, solidarity means going into the mud together with the flood victims, hosting people displaced by an earthquake in their own homes, is taking care of those who suffer. We don’t have time today to do all these things.

    Our lifestyle requires us to run from morning to night without asking too many questions. And in the face of those who need solidarity, the highest gesture we can make may perhaps be that of sending a text message?

    In concrete terms, I believe that solidarity does not consist in doing something, but in feeling that the life of the other is important, accompanying the other in his deeper choices.
    All this is not impossible or utopian, indeed I think it is very simple.

    Just move the reference from the self to the other. It is necessary to understand that my life is precious only if I am able to share it with others, if I am able to put myself in an authentic relationship with the other.

    But let’s try again to go back to the personal perspective and for a moment let’s try to think about what we would do in the calamities that affect others. What answer would we give to the terrible question – if it happened to me, what would I expect from others?

    First we need to ask ourselves if we expect something from others. We are so busy living our lives that we don’t care who we are next to. Our days are filled with people we completely ignore – neighbors, commuters taking our own bus or train, etc. We are so projected into ourselves that we are unable to grasp the richness that can exist in an encounter.

    If we will be able to get out of our selfishness, if we will be able to say – you interest me – if we will know how to put ourselves next to those who need our warmth, then we will be able to experience solidarity, then we will be truly united in solidum with other. Solidarity therefore starts from the heart. It is an inner movement that first infects ourselves and then the people around us.

    And all this is necessary because only when we have learned to be close to those who suffer, to those who are poor, to those who have lost everything, will we also be able to rebel so that all this does not happen again.

    In a society of solidarity, the poor cannot exist, the marginalized cannot exist, loneliness cannot exist, because everyone has the good of everyone at heart, as brothers because we are all children of the same Father – God.

  • Talent is a creative energy that lives inside each of us

    Talent is a creative energy that lives inside each of us

    Talent is a skill with exceptional traits, which characterizes an individual in a unique way. It is believed that a great talent must be followed by a brilliant career, perhaps studded with substantial earnings and therefore it is an exclusive characteristic of famous personalities, artists, painters, etc.

    There is also a tendency to believe that this special gift is discovered only at a young age. Otherwise, you don’t have it and you have to cultivate it with commitment and effort from an early age in order to develop it and make it germinate. From our point of view, talent is a rather creative energy that lives within each of us, which if left free leads each person to his full and spontaneous realization.

    It is a heritage within everyone’s reach that does not concern special abilities but the simple attitude to follow one’s true destiny, which can be accessed at any time. And its expression allows you to manifest your true nature, leading the individual to full self-realization.

    In many ancient cultures, talent coincided with the daemon (demon), destiny, or inspiring genius. That is, an innate ability capable of guiding man towards the most correct choices to bring out his true nature, his profound essence, his unrepeatable imprint.

    Bring out the talent

    Talent is the unique image that defines us and with which we came into the world, it is our existential identity card. Our natural tendency, the invisible pivot around which we all rotate and on which our fulfillment and our happiness are based. Talent is not found by making an effort to look for it, but only by letting life happen in its naturalness, without persisting in channeling it in predetermined, logical or socially legitimate directions.

    Express your talent to the fullest

    If it is true that talent is that distinctive trait that characterizes us, every time we are unhappy and dissatisfied it is because we are deviating our true nature and with it our way of being unique. When we move away from talent overwhelmed by the frenetic pace of life, prejudices, and behavior patterns, it is as if an internal demon were calling us to order through signals of discomfort that must be accepted and interpreted.

  • Positive thinking proposes techniques to improve life

    Positive thinking proposes techniques to improve life

    Positive thinking proposes techniques to improve one’s life and manage one’s mental states through conscious and intentional control of one’s thoughts. Positive phrases and affirmations are used to counteract unpleasant thoughts and change one’s attitude towards life.

    In recent decades, this current has been followed and developed by different strands of thought – from positive psychology to the most heterogeneous new age currents. The risk, however, is that this concept goes to endorse a certain widespread belief in the mainstream of today’s society, where we are all called to always be positive, smiling, optimistic and active. It is forbidden to be sad, it is forbidden to stop or linger on negative thoughts or moods.

    Self-help manuals continually encourage us to improve, the current consumer society continually offers us easy and immediate solutions to distract us from ourselves (shopping, going to the gym, eating food, or watching others do it, etc.). In short, everything seems to suggest us not to think, put aside sadness and discomfort and replace them with pleasant activities or thoughts!

    Eliminate Negative Thoughts?

    Let’s try to ask ourselves first – why should we eliminate negative thoughts? The question is not so trivial, that human suffering is something that is expressed through recursive and repetitive patterns is known history. Freud himself had defined this mechanism as repetition compulsion, that is, the tendency of human beings to re-enact symptomatic, behavioral, or relational patterns that are dysfunctional and cause subjective suffering.

    Apparent self-sabotage through which it would seem that people tend to retrace the paths that perpetuate their pain rather than seek new ones. And then, it would be natural to ask ourselves, why not break this vicious circle by forcing ourselves to think about something positive? The rest will hopefully follow.

    In reality, things are not that simple and these techniques often only work in the short term. First of all, because forcing oneself to think about something positive while sad, disheartened or distressed, can be a sort of paradoxical injunction for the mind. As if, in other words, we were imposing on ourselves with willpower something that can only happen spontaneously.

    Friends and relatives of those people who in some moments of their life have gone through a depression know this well. Encouraging them to get up, to go out, or even just to get out of bed has achieved nothing but the opposite effect. Forcing ourselves not to think about something reinforces that thought that we would like to eliminate because we try to change with willpower something that is not voluntary.

    Positive thinking – when it’s a trap

    There is another aspect that should warn us from positive thinking at any cost, sometimes positive thinking can be harmful and sustain dysfunctional states of mind. An example is the state of euphoria in which people who unconsciously deny depressive suffering by covering it up with manic excitement find themselves.

    Their optimistic thoughts contain a certain amount of unreasonableness, excessively grandiose self-esteem, and poor judgment that can lead them to undertake risky and potentially harmful initiatives for themselves or others.

    Another example is the false optimism that connotes the thoughts of those who are addicted to gambling, whenever they suffer a loss rather than stop they continue to gamble, why? Because, ignoring the nature of their condition, they are convinced once again that the win is now close, that now it is not enough to recover all that they have lost previously. Instead of acknowledging the reality of loss, they convince themselves that they are close to redemption.

    Sadness, fear, anxiety, discouragement, and others are all emotions that cause an unpleasant state of mind, but they are also useful in making us recognize a source of danger. To let us process a loss, to signal to us that the choices we are making are perhaps not as right as we thought or that within us there is a source of emotional suffering that we must listen to and deal with. If we pretend to use positive thinking to disavow all this we risk distancing ourselves from ourselves.

  • Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddeus for desperate cases

    Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddeus can be managed in two ways. Some prefer to recite it for nine days, nine times a day. Others recite it only once for nine consecutive days. Saint Jude Thaddeus is invoked only in extreme cases, in which it is really impossible to find a solution. When all hope is lost, he comes to the rescue.

    For example, he is very present when it comes to serious health problems (a matter of life or death). In case of severe economic problems (debts, foreclosures). In the event of an eviction, only when the chances of finding a home are nil.

    Saint Jude Thaddeus Apostle is defined as the patron saint of lost causes. We turn to him in really serious cases, where finding a solution is really difficult. Also called the Saint of Miracles, he only acts if there is really a serious need for help.

    When all roads are closed, he works to open a passage of light. Do not invoke his help for futile causes, you will not receive an answer. He is represented dressed in white and green, and with a gold pendant embossed with the image of Christ. Such a pendant is often worn by those who are devoted to him.

    Remember, it is very important to avoid that he is confused with Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Jesus. It is not easy to find information on this saint. The anecdotes concerning his life are described in the New Testament, but there are very few precise and definite historical sources.

    There would be a lot to write about the various hypotheses, but in this case, I think it is superfluous to go into purely theological discourses. However, it is good to know that he was an apostle, but certainly not the traitor apostle.

    When he will grant you his help, you will have to write wherever you want as long as it is a public place this words-Thank you, Saint Jude Thaddeus I thank you for your intercession in answer to my prayers. It is not necessary to dwell on useless monologues.

    Those who have received graces claim that it is quite quick. Usually, when he accepts your request, you will receive a sign about him. For example, you could be invited by someone to sign up for voluntary service, or, you get a picture of the saint…. in short, always remember to pay attention to the signals. most of the time, these involve helping others.

    I remind you that as soon as you receive a sign it is good to make the public declaration immediately. Many argue that the newspaper is the most requested medium by the saint. Or, you could make flyers to leave in public places. Please, specify that it is not Judas Iscariot, for too long they have been confused.

    Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddeus

    Oh Most Holy Apostle, Saint Jude,
    faithful servant and friend of Jesus
    All people honor you and invoke you as the patron of desperate cases.

    Pray for me, because I am so helpless and alone.
    Please bring me tangible and quick assistance.
    Come to my aid in this great need,

    Let me receive consolation
    And heaven’s help in all my needs,
    tribulations and sufferings,
    in particular (indicate your request)
    and may I praise God always with you.

    I promise you, Blessed Saint Jude,
    To always be grateful for this great favor,
    To always honor my special and powerful patron,
    And to encourage devotion to you
    With the publication of this request.
    Amen.

  • Curse evolution and symptoms in three stages

    Curse evolution and symptoms in three stages

    The curse in the three stages of its evolution is very important for a healer to understand. Because it allows him to interpret and identify the symptoms accused by the people who have suffered the curse so that a perfect diagnosis can be made and therefore remedied. The curse that has been carried out by envious or evil people has its maturation which develops in three stages called degrees.

    Curse first stage – Incubation

    This is that period when the spell is cast and matures but in a hidden way so its effect is not yet noticed. But what happens to the person to whom the spell was sent at this stage?

    In practice, in this phase the person does not feel any symptoms, but it is the astral form of him that is contaminated and it is in this phase that the curse will expand and will tend to branch out in an ever-deeper way. At this stage it is not easy for the healer to notice the existence of a curse. Only with a lot of experience and attention to detail can he verify existence.

    Second phase of the curse

    The person will begin to feel the effects caused by the spell that was sent to him, which can be of love or hatred. In this phase, the affected person will suffer the following symptoms – headache, sudden outbursts, nightmares, dizziness, oppression, listlessness, etc. Furthermore, the person affected in this phase can even change his habits of life, in feelings if the curse is of love, in health if instead, the curse is of destruction.

    Curse phase of irreversibility

    The situation begins to become more serious and complicated, in the case of health the symptoms begin with mental problems which then lead to real illnesses. In love, the subject is so taken by the other person that he will seem obsessed with him to the point that he no longer hears the voice of reason.

    He comes to be mean to his family and even comes to repudiate his wife and children. But this in the strongest spells of course we are talking about high level magic here. But even in spells more
    mild obsession with the other person is evident albeit not in
    however, there is an exaggerated way.

    This third phase is also called the irreversibility phase. That is, once a subject reaches this stage it is much more difficult to free him from evil, or at least not every time his success can be guaranteed.

    Let us remember that making a diagnosis of the situation is very important, this allows you to act in a timely manner and save the subject from the inconveniences that disturb him. But it is good to know that it is not easy to untie a curse. Only a person with great experience and technique can do it, and in some cases, there would be difficulties and a percentage of failure unfortunately for her.

  • True generosity is giving what you are

    True generosity is giving what you are

    True generosity is to give what you are, not what you have. Giving is a way to get out of the ego’s boundaries, to be part of the world and life. All this feeds happiness and inner contentment, like a bright thread that crosses our existence and makes it unique and precious.

    We would all like to be honest and patient, we would all like to be generous but it is not easy. It is not enough to donate money or other material objects to feel and be generous. Without a doubt, if people were more generous with each other the society in which we live would be a better place.

    Sometimes in reality we are afraid of giving, we are afraid of losing something, of being defrauded of our skills and competencies, of a part of us. Perhaps even of our time when in reality the best time is what we give to others.

    In reality, only the one who knows how to give is rich. Rich within himself. And it is well-off those who are comfortable with themselves in depth. Generosity – the gift made with true love – makes us feel good, makes us invulnerable to sadness because giving is a way to get out of the ego’s boundaries, to be part of the world and of life

    Many people say they cannot give to others because they themselves have many shortcomings and cannot afford to make donations. As if generosity was focused on material goods, of course, when we have the opportunity and we can help others with our money and with what we have it is good to do it, but we never forget that the true gift is a gift of oneself, gift of being and not having.

    A caress, a kind gesture, time dedicated to listening with participation, a smile, welcome, isn’t this pure generosity? After all, what are we, our talents, what do we need if we keep them for us?

    It is also written in the Gospel – you are the light of the world; a city that is on top of a mountain cannot remain hidden, nor can a lamp be lit to put it under a bushel, but on the candlestick, and thus sheds light on all who are in the house. (Matthew 5, 13-16)

    Make your light shine like the sun, have the strength and courage to bring your gift to others: in the family, at work, to the people you meet every day. Remember that the scent of the flower also remains in the hands of those who donated it.
