With the harshest experiences, we mature over years and years. We fall and rise again often.
But truly, the most intense pain and trials are what transform you into a different person. Here, you find God’s mercy comforting your heart.
You find that over time, you’ve changed a lot, as if you’ve matured over a thousand years. The same old things no longer matter to you.
The presence of people in your life becomes fleeting. Perhaps something pleasant, if not harmful, but never essential.
Your comfort lies in isolating yourself from everyone and avoiding everything that might harm you.
It’s better to create your own world… content with your family, your work, your dreams, and your goals. Create your own happiness and pave your own path to success, alone, without needing anyone on earth.
Be self-sufficient in everything… in your sadness and joy, in your hope and despair, in your calm and anger and in all your states.
This may seem harsh to some, but for you, it becomes the ultimate comfort.
True maturity is not to regret anything in the past, but to look at the glass as half full, and always see the positive side in everything that happens around you; as if you were a different person, as if you had never been sad. After imagining that you would continue to burn with pain, you find yourself shining again, embracing life and wanting to achieve dreams that have lived inside you for years in secrecy.
You discover that time has not yet passed, that the fulfillment of wishes has no age, and that you can dream and dream and achieve much, much more.
You discover a great energy within you. Your dreams are reborn, and you strive to achieve them. You find God’s facilitation surrounding you, and you emerge from the heart of adversity with beautiful gifts.
You walk on a new, correct path and live anew… with a new mind, a new way of thinking, and a new outlook on life.
