Get ready for your opportunity


Do not confuse a bad thing that happened to you with something bad that you built. Something bad that happened to you is an accident, a betrayal, an unfair dismissal, an ill you didn't provoke, the traffic, a robbery, etc. It's something you had nothing to do; it just happened. These things happen to all of us: men and women, good and bad, from any economic level, country or belief.

In the other hand, something bad that has been built is a bad habit, an unpayable debt, a destroyed marriage (in...

Prepárate para tu Oportunidad


No confundas una cosa mala que te pasó con algo malo que se construiste. Algo malo que te pasó es un accidente, una traición, un despido injusto, una enfermedad que no provocaste, el tráfico, un robo, etc. Es algo que tú no tuviste nada que ver y que simplemente sucedió. Estas cosas malas nos pasan a todos: hombres y mujeres, buenos y malos, de cualquier estrato social, país o creencia.

En cambio, algo malo que se construyó es un mal hábito, una deuda impagable, un matrimonio destruido (en la...

"God didn't bless me today"


There are many that maybe they don't say it, but from the bottom of their heart think that their Heavenly Father didn't bless them. Many times, when the night comes, they say to themselves: "Well, I didn't see God moving for me today, He didn't bless me nor protect me. I just didn't feel Him today." I think that that thought is based on a misconception about what being blessed by God is.

Remember this: The fact that you didn't see that your Heavenly Father has blessed you, it doesn't t mean He...

"Dios no me bendijo hoy"


Hay muchos que quizás no lo dicen, pero en el fondo de su corazón piensan que su Padre Celestial pasó un día sin bendecirlos. Muchas veces llega la noche y ellos se dicen a sí mismos: "Bueno, no vi a Dios moverse hoy por mí, no me bendijo, no me protegió. Simplemente no lo sentí hoy". Yo creo que ese pensamiento está basado en un concepto errado sobre lo que es ser bendecido por Dios.

Recuerda esto: El hecho que no has visto que tu Padre Celestial te haya bendecido, no quiere decir que Él no l...

La visita del Papa Francisco


Queridos hermanos y hermanos en Cristo, se los digo con mucho cariño, si lo que vas a opinar ofende a otro, no lo digas por amor a esa persona.

Aprende a ver más allá de la fachada, y mira el corazón . ¿Qué hay en la fachada? En la fachada hay lo que la mayoría critica: que el Papa usa seguridad y carro blindado cuando Jesús no lo hizo, que se gasta millones en su visita, que se postran ante él, que no necesitamos mediadores para llegar a Jesús, que no se debe adorar a imágenes, etc.

Aprendamos...

The blind leading the blind


Many make this mistake: They confuse love with wisdom . How's it? When they have a problem, they look for advice from the people they love instead of from the people that know what to do about it. Of course, if the people they love are the ones that know what to do, that'd be perfect.

It's usual to see people seeking for advice concerning a marriage problem from people that are in a worse situation, or seeking for a financial advice from the ones that are constantly in debt, or advice concernin...

Ciegos guiando a ciegos



Muchos cometen el siguiente error:  Confunden amor con sabiduría . ¿Cómo así? Cuando pasan por algún problema, buscan consejos de las personas que aman en lugar de las que saben del tema. Por supuesto, que si la persona que uno ama también es la que sabe, eso sería lo ideal.

Es típico ver cómo las personas buscan consejos sobre algún problema matrimonial de las personas que están peor que uno mismo, o buscan consejos financieros de aquellos que paran endeudados, o consejos sobre cómo salir...

Just for two hours!


The first stop that our airplane had when we traveled to USA was at the gigantic Atlanta's airport. We just had two hours to get to our next plane, but we had to go through the migration process first and then all the way to the opposite furthest part of the airport. We would've lost our connection if the next plane hadn't delayed.

The next time I have to stop in that airport, I know what I'll do. I'll have clothe to change, I'll go to a hotel nearby to take a shower, I'll have ready in what r...

"Are you crying just for that?!" - An advice for parents


How many of us, parents, have ever told our kids: "You cry just for that!"? Big mistake! Do you know what we're actually telling them? We're telling them: "The reason you're crying for is nonsense", and worse: "what is important to you isn't to me".

If you've been telling that to your kids, this is what you have to do:
- Tell them you are sorry for doing that . Tell them: "Son/daughter, forgive me because so many times I looked down on what is important to you".
- Promise them that you'll tr...

"¡Por eso lloras!" - Un consejo para padres


¿Cuántos de nosotros, padres, le hemos dicho a nuestros hijos alguna vez: "¡Qué, por eso lloras!"? ¡Grave error! ¿Saben lo que en realidad les estamos diciendo? Les estamos diciendo: "Esa razón por la que lloras es una tontería", y peor: "lo que para ti es importante no lo es para mí".

Si has estado diciéndole eso a tus hijos, esto es lo que tienes que hacer:
- Pídeles perdón por haber estado haciendo eso . Diles: "Hijo, perdóname porque muchas veces menosprecié lo que para ti era importante".
-...
