Persevere to win

It is not easy to persevere, it is a test of will that makes the difference between moving forward or giving up and it is something that applies to everything. When I look back, I can appreciate that without that engine that moves me always forward, I would not be in the place where I am, which perhaps for many is nothing remarkable, but for me it is important, because only I know the value it has, which is a function of my effort and those I come to depend on and the support of the entire universe.

Every afternoon, when I am in the middle of our walk, it fills me with vitality to see so many people fighting for their dreams, that sports field is always full of people training, most of them are children that their parents take, I imagine that like us with ours, trying to make their lives better in every way. There are also children who go alone, some even practice their sport without shoes, there are no limits when it comes to achieve what you want, not even age, not even money.

Sometimes, when I see my children unmotivated to attend their sports activities, I tell them that although it is natural for them that we support them, not all children have the same luck, it is really an effort that is made to take them every day to their training, buy them what they need, pay the monthly fees of the academies; everything involves time and money and they should value it, the best way to do it is to make the most of it and enjoy it. I always try to make them aware and not believe that everything is so easy that it has no value.

I see in my environment a drive to move forward and it is encouraging, it is good that people spend their time doing constructive things, keeping the mind busy is the best cure for idleness and to avoid harboring destructive thoughts. When I'm in the office I like to have enough work to keep me so busy that the hours fly by; it also makes me feel useful and productive. I also like to have enough time for leisure to enjoy my days. Everything has its moment and you have to be present in each one of them.

There is something we must always keep in mind: Life is a constant challenge, it is not right to think that it is candy and that everything will always be easy, I try to prepare my children for the battles that may come their way, they must be able to survive the circumstances and for that they must cultivate the will, which is what keeps us firm when we feel we can not continue. Nor is it about instilling pessimism, on the contrary, we must expect the best from life, but being clear that we may encounter obstacles, which does not mean it is good or bad, it is simply something that happens and regardless of the cause and whether we think it is fair or not, we must assume them in the best way, knowing that by overcoming them we are also overcoming ourselves and that adds to our skills.

In every task we take on, the effort we put into it will have its reward, for which both perseverance and willpower are very useful tools at all times.
