Completeness

Today I realized how the simple life leads to a sense of completeness I have found that there are 3 very foundamental stages:

1st:
Build a relationship with God.
No is not about being religious, no it is not about following rules is about building a relationship with God.. getting to know God.. allowing him to take care of you and your life.. and serving him in whichever way you can possibly do. If you can give money then give money, if you can fast something in your life or quit it all together then do it, if you pray then go ahead and pray.. but always keep in mind it is not done out of a routine or to look or feel good.. do it because you want to encounter God in a deeper level, because you want to seek him because you want more of him, you want living water to be pour onto your spirit.
Do it and build a relationship with God through the right door.. 1st Christ 2nd your heart. Open the door to Christ allow yourself to be in him and then allow him to take over you.. your door, your heart.

2nd.
Love yourself.
If you are like I was and dont know how to and you always wonder how do I love myself.. well let me tell you start by faking it you gonna love it so much it will come from within. You were made, you were created, you were NOT manufactured in some company/organization. You are the master piece of an artists, you are the winning piece. Love the things that you dont find attractive they STILL make you who you are. Seek solitude, just be by yourself, enjoy you own company, sing (even if you cant like me), dance, do whatever you need to do but appreciate yourself. DO things that show you that you love you.. I do my hair, my nail, make up, I moisturize daily, I drink plenty of water, I stopped heavily drinking, stopped smoking, get enough sleep.. really do the thing that tell you that you love you and you will see a big difference in your life.

3rd.
Fall in love.
When I said completeness I never mean it was gonna be easy. NEVER be afraid to fall in love no matter the circumstances specially if the person you fall in love with brings you right back and builds on stage number 1 and 2 (mind you they dont have to happen in order but it does help). I BELIEVE IN LOVE, being in love is the best thing that can happen to any one, staying in love however is a magical encounter with 1 person each and every day. Is seeing the other person for who and just what they are right now, who they were and who they will be and still appreciating them. Learning to love their flaws because it makes them who they are... it makes them that master piece of the artist. RELATIONSHIPS however are about putting work and efford BUT most of all is about APPRECIATING and RESPECTING each other as well as SHOWING love and affection. If you want to stay in love and have a relationship you MUST allow GOD to be the CENTER of that union, to be the TOWER, the PILAR and the ROCK and make each other a priority.

YOU MUST NOT QUIT

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're travelling seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver lining of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
it may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.









 

There are people that...

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.

Me gusta cuando callas - Pablo Neruda

Me Gustas Cuando Callas


Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente,
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.
Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado
y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca.

Como todas las cosas estan llenas de mi alma
emerges de las cosas, llena del alma mia.
Mariposa de sueno, te pareces a mi alma,
y te pareces a la palabra melancolia.

Me gustas cuando callas y estas como distante.
Y estas como quejandote, mariposa en arrullo.
Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza:
dejame que me calle con el silencio tuyo.

Dejame que te hable tambien con tu silencio
claro como una lampara, simple como un anillo.
Eres como la noche, callada y constelada.
Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo.

Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente.
Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto.
Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan.
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto.



I Like You When You Are Quiet

I like you when you are quiet because it is as though you are absent,
and you hear me from far away, and my voice does not touch you.
It looks as though your eyes had flown away
and it looks as if a kiss had sealed your mouth.

Like all things are full of my soul
You emerge from the things, full of my soul.
Dream butterfly, you look like my soul,
and you look like a melancoly word.

I like you when you are quiet and it is as though you are distant.
It is as though you are complaining, butterfly in lullaby.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
let me fall quiet with your own silence.

Let me also speak to you with your silence
Clear like a lamp, simple like a ring.
You are like the night, quiet and constellated.
Your silence is of a star, so far away and solitary.

I like you when you are quiet because it is as though you are absent.
Distant and painful as if you had died.
A word then, a smile is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it is not true.
