In my life I can perhaps make a balance and say that I have had achievements and failures, but I am completely convinced that what is really important in this balance is neither the achievements nor the failures, but the way in which I have had to overcome these failures in order to constantly improve myself and learn to assimilate the achievements and not fill myself with the triumphalism that may make me lose my way towards a truly fulfilling life with my family.
What really defines my life?
What really defines my life is what is tangible, what I can really enjoy and feel proud of, every moment of time I spend with my daughter makes me redefine my life and direct my efforts to find the way to make the fullness of my efforts worthwhile in living together with my family, so that my daughter, as she grows up, is aware of the importance of enjoying every moment of time together.
Every achievement in my life is perhaps the immediate consequence of the obstacles overcome, that is to say that when things are done well, the rest comes as an added bonus. My family is an achievement after overcoming certain obstacles that made me think that it was impossible to rebuild my life with a family of my own, but once I overcame those obstacles I began to see the fruits of what it means to be able to fight and get what you want.
When I see that my daughter's happiness is my own, is when I say that my life is redefined in every experience, in every thought and every reflection.
Years ago in my adolescence my aspirations were different from today, I wanted to be a professional in petroleum engineering, I was able to fulfill that goal and give a little happiness to my parents that they could live with me that joy:
My parents are no longer in this world, I think they left for a better way of existence perhaps, nowadays and being able to reflect on so many things, I do not think that what in the past was a joy today is, I do not have academic aspirations as in the past, but I recognize what I had to overcome to obtain what at that time was an achievement and allows me to teach others.
I constantly seek that my life expands in experiences and emotions, that each sharing is a joy not only for me but for my whole family, that my siblings can also enjoy my daughter being as small as she is, because I did it at the time too.
I aspire to keep trying, overcoming obstacles, keep making mistakes and learning from them, I want to keep living with all the consequences that it deserves, however what I want most is my own understanding towards the understanding of the abstract of living looking for what I believe should come to me.
