“When we live intensely, we run more risks and we become more fragile.
We already know that people who do nothing suffer nothing. But avoiding doing things out of fear of getting hurt is not a path to growth.
When we mix our fears with reality, we are limiting ourselves.
Don’t forget that the decisions we don’t make also cause us pain.
Be careful about how you interpret what happens to you. If you don’t have an explanation that brings you peace, don’t make one up.
What causes one kind of emotional pain to be more intense than another? Well, it depends on the emotional attachment to the source of the pain. What hurts more intensely is what directly affects us or the people we love. What hurts more is what affects our greatest aspirations and objectives.
We are more easily hurt by what affects our desires or fears, and the more intense our desire, the more painful our frustration when we do not achieve it. The emotional involvement determines and explains the intensity of our pain. The greater the emotional involvement, the greater the pain.
When pain comes in the door, perspective goes out the window, taking with it our ability to reason properly, to analyze events, and to make good decisions.
Each time you remember what happened you transform what happened.
None of our experiences is in vain if we are capable of learning from what happened to us and from the suffering and pain it caused us. But we won’t be able to learn from what happened if we don’t look back and review our experiences.
Carrying your past is like carrying a huge backpack full of stones that prevents you from walking freely. But to walk through life all you need is a bit of water and food, a dream, and a destination—and, in a pinch, you can probably do without a destination.
Let bygones be bygones, learn from what happened, and bring that chapter to a close.
Your beliefs feed your decisions, your fears, and your desires.
Knowledge will set you free, so make an effort to learn, study, read, travel.”

“Aceptar o modificar la realidad requiere de un gran esfuerzo de voluntad y de elevadas dosis de madurez y responsabilidad, mientras que montarnos un escenario y vivir en un engaño es mucho más sencillo.”

“Así que si alguna vez te preguntas «¿por qué a mí?», ten claro que somos frágiles, que vivimos en un entorno hostil y que a veces, con las conductas y con las decisiones que tomamos, o dejamos de tomar, incurrimos en riesgos que pueden conducirnos a la adversidad. Sin embargo, en otras ocasiones, es el azar más macabro el que nos desgracia con una adversidad.”

“Los jóvenes de hoy en día tienen prisa por aprender. Si no aprenden rápido, se desencantan, se desmotivan y dejan de aprender. No son conscientes de que para aprender y consolidar lo aprendido hace falta tiempo y una actitud receptiva y curiosa.”
