03918 – Life: An Unmissable Show!
Pope Francis

You can be flawed, anxious and sometimes irritated, but don’t forget that your life is the greatest company in the world.

Only you can prevent her from going into decline.

There are many who appreciate, admire and love you. And you don’t know but there are people for whom you are special.

I would like you to remember that being happy is not having a sky without storms, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, personal relationships without disappointments.

To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the box of fear, love in disagreements.

Being happy is not only to value the smile, but also to reflect on sadness.

It is not just commemorating success, but learning lessons from failure.

It is not just having joy with the applause, but having joy in anonymity.

Being happy is recognizing that life is worth living, despite all the challenges, sadness, misunderstandings, and periods of emotional and economic crisis.

Being happy is not a fate of destiny, but a conquest for those who know how to travel within their own being.

To be happy is to stop being a victim of problems and become an actor in your own story.

It is crossing deserts outside of oneself, but being able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul.

It is thanking God every morning for the miracle of life.

Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings.

It is knowing how to talk about yourself.

It is having the courage to hear a “no” even from those you love.

It is having security to receive criticism, even if it is unfair.

It is kissing the children, pampering the parents, having poetic moments with friends, even if they hurt us.

To be happy is to let live the free, happy and simple creature that lives within each one of us.

It is having maturity to say ‘I was wrong’.

It is having the audacity to say ‘forgive me’.

It is having sensitivity to express ‘I need you’.

It is having the ability to say ‘I love you’.

May your life become a garden of opportunity to be happy …

May you be a lover of joy in your springs.

May you be a friend of wisdom and peace in your winters.

And when you make a mistake along the way, you start all over again.

Well then you will be more passionate about life.

And you will discover that being happy is not having a perfect life.

But to use the tears to water the tolerance.

Use the losses to refine the patience.

Use fallas to sculpt serenity.

Use pain lapping pleasure.

Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence.

Never give up ….

Never give up on the people you love.

Never give up on being happy, because life is an unmissable show!
