Sometimes we find ourselves at crossroads in life, where every step is important. Many times as human beings we want to achieve great things, reach gigantic goals and dreams in one leap and we forget that the road, the journey and every part of the trip from the beginning of our purposes is important. It's about mapping out a short, medium and long term path, although to be honest, after the pandemic I don't plan more than 3 years for the things I want to do or achieve.

You will say that perhaps this is a very short or not very futuristic vision, however, for me it is a realistic proposal, during the pandemic I saw many loved ones leave without even imagining that this could happen, others who overnight had to drastically change their plans and way of life in general for reasons that many of us already know and that affected all of us. I myself experienced a struggle with my own darkness, with that negativity that tried to take over my thoughts as I saw how everything stopped in my existence and how so much of my being diminished with each loss, but, in the midst of that internal struggle my strength and self-love made me see the good side of everything and get up to continue.

I remember one day, in the middle of a crisis, when I looked around me and I was alone, I was trying to find a familiar sound in the house and I could only hear the sound of the electronic equipment, it was right at that moment when in front of the mirror of the bed I looked at myself and I said to myself, my life is not over yet and when I took the first step out of the bed where I had been several days without being able to move I began to understand that every step counts.

Today my reality is built step by step, I set daily goals that I can meet, I have left aside the rush and the races that lead me to nothing, I do not attend to external pressures and I distribute my time according to the needs of the day, for everything there is time, especially to share with the people I love. I spend a lot of time leaving the good moments for later, a later that never came.

Every step counts when you understand that life is worth every moment that you are willing to live it and to experience the best that the universe has to offer. Every step counts, when you are able to appreciate the small details and the great blessings that you experience every day from the very moment you open your eyes. Every step counts, because your life is unique, unrepeatable and special, that you can achieve and reach everything just by setting your mind to it. Stop waiting for better times, stop believing in magic and instant solutions, those do not exist. So value your life and make every step count until you achieve what you want.
