“Life is all about finding out who you really are. First of all, know that you’re not alone.

I don’t think there’s a person on this planet who has not, at one point or another, worn a mask to protect who they really are from a potentially difficult experience.

The pressure of believing you’re the only one with this problem is half of what makes it seem so impossible to fix. The second step is figuring out what you’re so afraid of by revealing who you really are.

It isn’t that you’re wearing a mask all the time, its that you’re putting it on in attempt to keep your therapist out. What you need to understand is that by letting that person in, they can get to the core of whatever else is bothering you.

Just be straight up. Its hard, but once you break through that wall, the pressure you feel inside will lift, and you’ll probably cry out every single one of those tears ‘til all you can do is laugh to make up for it. That’s when you know you’ve done it.

Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you’re not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. Here are some ideas to get you started: Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessl...

Cinco meses después...

Cinco meses después de salir de mi país, aun extraño todo en la misma medida. Todo lo no material. Cinco meses después de haber vivido en Medellín, asumí el reto. Cinco meses después comprendí lo que es vivir el día a día. No esperé nada del día siguiente, con poco salí a diario con mi mejor cara, a atender cada cliente con todo lo que tenía y más. Dediqué mis días no solo a vender sino a escuchar. A diario escuchaba historias de cada uno de mis clientes, de todo tipo de historias. Cada uno dejaba algo de ellos dentro de mí. Si pudiese plasmar en una foto cada una de sus caras, no dudaría en hacerlo. Cada uno merece su puesto. Desde el niño pequeño con una incansable alegría, con el que hablaba de cosas que sólo los niños saben mirar. Hasta el señor con el que no hablaba pero veía a diario llegar a su casa, desgastado, cansado y quizá un poco desesperanzado. De observar y hablar con la gente aprendí mucho, quizás más de lo que hubiese a...

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...
