TIME DOES NOT STOP BECAUSE AFTER, THERE IS NO AFTER




Life is a homework we brought ourselves to do at home.
When you look... it's already six in the afternoon. When you look... it's already Friday; when you look... the month is already over; when you look... the year is already over; when you look... it's been 50 or 60 years! ; when you look... We no longer know where our friends are; when you look... we lost the love of our lives and now, it's too late to turn back.
Don't stop doing something you love because of lack of time. Don't stop having someone by your side, because your children will soon not be yours, and you will have to do something with that time left. The only thing we will miss will be the space that can only be enjoyed with forever friends. That time that unfortunately never comes back.
Need to remove the "AFTER"...
I will call you later.
Later I'm doing it .
Later, I say it.
After that I change .
We leave everything for later as if later is the best.
We don't understand that:
After that, the coffee gets cold.
After that, the priority changes.
Then, the charm is lost.
Later early becomes late .
Then, the longing passes.
Afterwards, the tables turn.
Then the children grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Afterwards, day is night.
After that, life is over.
Don't leave anything for later, because waiting for the "after", you can lose the best moments, the best experiences, the best friends, the greatest loves.
Remember the 'after' may be too late. The day is today. We are no longer at the age to postpone anything.

The last words of Steve Jobs, billionaire, dead at 56


"I have reached the pinnacle of success in business." In other people's eyes my life is a success.
However, aside from work, I’ve had little joy.
At the end of the day, wealth is just a fact I’ve gotten used to.
Right now, lying on my hospital bed, reminiscing all my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in, has faded and become meaningless in the face of imminent death.
You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you, but you can't hire someone to stand sick and die for you.
Material things lost can be found again. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost: Life.
Whatever stage of life we are currently at, in time we will face the day the curtain closes.
Love your family, spouse, children and friends... Treat them right .
Cherish them.
As we get older, and wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch both give the same time
Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet or purse, the amount inside is the same.
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and the distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.
Whether we drink a $1000 or $10 bottle of wine, the hangover is the same.
Whether the house in which we live is 100 or 1000 square meters, loneliness is the same.
You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from material things of this world.
Whether you travel first class or economy class, if the plane crashes, you go down with it...
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you discuss, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east or heaven and earth,... this is the real happiness!!
An indisputable fact of life:
Don't raise your children to be rich.
Educate them to be happy.
When they grow up, they will know the value of things and not the price. "


 

WHAT I OWE YOU I CANNOT PAY.



A long-standing couple had lived ninety and seventy together, persevering through every difficulty and reinforced with love like the first day. Having been the strongest of the two, the one who worked hard in the field, the one who always provided, was now the weakest.
She bathed him, helped him put on his clothes and combed him tenderly as if his old husband were a baby. And every time she combed his hair, Don Aurelius always said:
WHAT I OWE YOU I CAN'T PAY!
Augusta, I've worked all my life under the sun, on earth, so that you don't lack to eat, buy clothes and provide you this house. Getting up early to plant and harvest has been all I've ever done to show you all the love I feel and that, even though my heart is old, it's a new love, intact, but... i can't work anymore like i used to. All these seventy years of loving and serving you. If I had to pay you, I couldn't...
-Can you imagine what a doctor earns? ; for that you were with me on the nights I was sick and you got up to attend to me and to take care of me.
-Can you imagine what a laundry lady, a cook, an iron, a seamstress earn? well all that was with me every time you attended this house and me.
-Can you imagine what a teacher earns? for that was with me everytime you taught me things I didn't know or understood.
-Can you imagine what a saleswoman earns? well that was with me every time you helped me sell my fruits and vegetables.
-Can you imagine what a singer earns? well, that was every time you sang in my ear a song that I liked.
-And can you imagine what a lawyer earns? because that was you every time you defended me in front of men the times they spoke slander about me.
-Can you imagine what a rental belly earns? Well, that was you, a blessed womb every time you gave me the children we have today and help us.
-Can you imagine what a nanny earns? well that was you everytime you took care of my kids.. And you still are now that you continue to take care of me, as if I were a child.. With the same love you always cared for me, bathe me, change my clothes and comb my gray hair...
Thank you, Augusta! , for having worked for me so many years without charging me a single weight, and thank you for having done it out of love; because all I OWE YOU, I CAN NOT PAY...

Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
