The real success

Do you think that a rich person is inevitably successful?

You can be the richest person on the planet but if:

– you don’t have time for your passions
– nobody cares or loves you
– you’re surrounded by people only for sake of selfish interests
– you are rude to your subordinates
– you’re strong with the weak ones
– you’re weak with the strong ones
– you do a job you hate
– you cheat and steal
– you care about your image above everything

I think is much more worthwhile when:

– you have time to do things you love
– someone loves and cares about you
– you could have fewer friends but the important ones
– you are kind and patient with people even if you’re in power
– you stand against injustices
– maybe you don’t earn a lot of money but you have what you need and do a job you love
– you’re an honest person
– you are on a path of personal growth and care only for things that really matter

The power to heal the world

It doesn’t exist space for love in this world. And when I say love I don’t mean love between partners but love as love your neighbour.

Everyone pursues only their personal interests and this seems normal.

There is no space for sincere concerns about the human condition of a person. Everything is ascribable to some kind of interest.

Nobody sacrifices themselves in spite of others for the sake of pure love.

Are these sentences proper? Or is there space for love in this world? What can people that believe in love do?

I think nobody is perfect for this reason pardon is necessary. I guess nothing is secure for this reason I believe love can exist.

And if you think love and pardon are naive topics I tell you that those can change the world. They are the most revolutionary acts people can do.

But what others exploitation of these traits? Should we let others maliciously take advantage of these “weaknesses”?

I can say that it depends on the state of the situation. I could say sometimes yes, sometimes not. There are no fixed rules. It’s a skill that is learned by experience.

Anyway, what matters the most is that love can exist. What follows is a divine consequence.

Love and pardon should come in a natural way and nobody can be forced to love or pardon. The problem is that people who have these skills are often seen as weak people and so they feel about themselves.

I propose to shift the paradigm. They are the leaders that will lead this world once they become aware of their power. The power to heal the world.

In any case, people who don’t have these skills can master them properly. It’s only a matter of time before desires followed by actions will lead you to become the best lover and pardoner the world has ever had.

I still believe

The world is collapsing. Under the weight of pollution, intolerance, selfishness and violence.

Strangely and I don’t know why I still believe in people. I think that people will understand the repairing value of love, freedom and pardon. But, at the moment, we carry the burden of our heavy legacy. Our mind is obfuscated, our heart is insensitive, our instinct is too disconnected from who we really are, and our spirituality is dead or too utilitarian and these make our relationship meaningless. So we have to fill this gap, we should recover our real selves from this heavy burden that we carry on our souls and relearn to relate to each other, always honestly, but with compassion, love and pardon.

What binds us shouldn’t only be selfish interests but mainly the interest to know each other, to deepen the relationships in order to obtain a better understanding of ourselves and the world surrounding us. This is a risky activity that puts us out of our comfort zone. This is an enterprise. But the action is worth it.

When we eventually reach this awareness we should start to treat each other with the needed care and this in the last instance leads us toward love. We’ll see, thanks to a better understanding of the world, that we are all humans in the same boat. That’s we all have fragilities, broken sides and flaws. With no exclusion.

But this process has to happen naturally. No one can be forced to acquire knowledge against their will. Nor especially to love.

I think the world is ready to acquire the awareness that honest, and not forced, kindness is the only way to reach the goal of peace and prosperity. We are people and it’s supposed we should live in harmony. That object is not unreachable but by pacific discussions and debates we could improve and this will make us succeed.

The Spirit

Many times, I tried to develop ideas in order to accomplish some kind of task, but I failed. Many times, I have followed my own inner feeling and I have built a lot of remarkable things.

Because no matter how much you desire a thing or what you’re prepared for if the spirit is not part of the process, you’re working on the void and even though formally it appears that you’re reaching great goals, you’re actually wasting your and others’ time.

Time is precious and if you don’t spice up it with your inner spirit, it will be lost in the flow of universe and space-time. But if you discover inside yourself your inner voice and act accordingly at it your flowing in the universe will have much more meaning, you will be a better person, you will be more prone to help those who need and you will be more yourself and assertive.

But what’s the spirit? What’s your inner voice? It’s very difficult to answer this question. We could say that spirit always changes but at the same time it remains the same. We could say that it lets us love ourselves more and love others more.

“We have no power but the power to change the world”

A way to acquire the skill of love

Love is a skill. In order to be able to love others, you need to acquire it through a journey of transformation to rebuild a new heart (or to recover the real one). But how can we face this journey?

Simple, being ourselves. It could seem easy but it won’t. Revealing ourselves for what we are and not hiding it because of fear is one of the most difficult tasks, you could have ever faced.

For many reasons, first of all, the real consequences this revealing could have. Exposing ourselves can lead us to bad judgements by others for example. Or it could damage our reputation. And many other issues.

So, how can we face this exposition? This could be the tricky one, I call it to follow the spirit, it will lead you.

But if you don’t know what the spirit is, you never can follow it, maybe. Spirit is a path of easiness, integrity, judgment-less, and the capacity to see the world through the eyes of others.

Following the spirit can lead us to many difficult situations, but with help of the spirit, we can manage them easily. Piece of cake.

In this way, we can conquer the integrity of ourselves that is the fact that we are made of love. Love is our real nature. And it helps you a lot in life because love is in harmony with everything.

For the sake of Love

I’m able to switch between different points of view. This makes me a smart man. But in order to be wise, I need to use this capacity for noble purposes.

Wise people would build greatness not only about themselves but even about the world where they live.

They look at the general picture. They don’t care only about themselves but they are really able to stay in the shoes of others and make decisions in such a way properly.

Those who care only about their selfish interests are neither wise nor deserve a good life. These people are doomed to a miserable life at least until they don’t change their attitude toward life and the world in general.

Because a life without feeling love is always a miserable life, even though you are the richest man in the world.

But is this affirmation true? How can we know I’m saying the truth. Of course, this is only a point of view.

But as my personal preference, I prefer people led by love rather than interests. And love has no limit nor boundaries.

Exploring our relationship with love is the most interesting task ever. I love people, and as one of my preferred novels said (the Gospel): “love your enemies”, so I try to love even them.

As always Jesus Christ said: “love is the unique commandment”. And if you love you are even willing to help others and sometimes, if the situation requires it, able to sacrifice yourself.

But what if we don’t feel the love?

In this case, always the Gospel says that God will change our hearts, and It will donate us a new one. So it’s a path of transformation. We have to give up everything for the rule of love, and we will be led into a path of transformation that lasts all eternity because learning to love has no end.

We should choose if we want to engage on a path of transformation towards love only for sake of love or perish on a path of hate, envy and other bad feelings.

Love is freedom, so the only commandment we have is to follow our natural attitude which is to improve for the sake of love.

And at the last, but not least love opens the doors of paradise, here on earth. Even if you don’t receive material benefits from love, you will receive something more important: the sacred spirit. And being in the heart of our creator is the best gift we could ever receive.

Just love, that’s enough. But always ask yourself if your love is real love or a stupid, arrogant thought to deserve paradise even when we are the most miserable people in the world.
