Yo voy a abrir mi corazón. Poco a poco, lo voy a hacer. Voy a vivir de verdad, voy a ser quien soy, voy a conseguirlo.
Sí.
Los videos que he visto me han dado mucha alegría. No estuve en la fiesta, pero me ha dado alegría ver la alegría.
TQM Paulo, y aprendo de ti. Y aprendo de todos.
Y voy a ser quien soy, voy a luchar contra mis miedos y voy a luchar por lo que quiero:
Una vida mejor para mi, no puedo cambiar el mundo pero sí puedo cambiar mi manera de ver las cosas.
Un beso para todos.
Por cierto leí algo de Jesica, ayer, ahora no veo su mensaje:
Decirle a Jesica que no sé que le ha pasado, pero que no está sóla. Decirle que luche, o simplemente que abra su corazón, que no tenga miedo y que si lo tiene, lo combata. Es muy difícil, lo sé, pero hay que tener fuerzas y mucha fe.
Te mando un abrazo grande Jesica, llega la Primavera.
This reminded me of a wonderful quote: ‘Every exit is an entry somewhere else’, by Tom Stoppard
Lavanya, I thought I would try to translate the Spanish into English for you. I had a little difficulty with one or two but here’s the idea of each of them:
1. Freedom is not the absense of compromise, but rather the capacity to choose–and to involve myself with what is best for me.
2. The human being has two great problems–the first is knowing when to begin, the second is knowing when to stop.
3. I don’t know how long this dream is going to last…but I’m deciding to live every moment as if it were the last.
4. Love is a strong savage. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused.
5. If what makes us happy is different from that which we are living…we [must] change at once or be even unhappier.
6. True friends are those that are at our side when good things happen to us. They support us, are happy about our victories. False friends are those that only appear in difficult times.
7. I am no longer he who dreamed of being something: I AM
I apologize for any discrepancies. I just felt I should try to do this for you…

Savita Vega, congratulations on your yoga studio. How wonderful for you. I wanted to share with you something I’ve learned along the way: when you change, not everyone around you applauds and supports those changes. If you change, then in some way they will have to change in order to keep up with you. No worries! Now is the time to celebrate this wonderful new adventure you are on.
Rossana Font, thanks for sharing your “doors…with thoughts” slide show. Beautiful doors. Very inspiring.
Savita, getting a yoga studio to hold your classes is great news. It is the result of hard work.
Thanks, Marie-Christine, for translating the slide show.
doors -open and close u choose,, u can open it for what ever u want and u can close it when u feel like,,, so many possibilities,,, for me doors -give me the thoughts of privacy- something that not every one can see behind!!!
and i think privacy for me is really important,,- so doors r all around me-even inside my insight- i have those special doors.
Open.There are couple of bookshops on the mainstreet,next to me,which work 24 hours.It does mean-they don’t know the word “closed”.They are always waiting for you!To know,that you are welcomed any hour, day and night,make me feel at home in these places.There is one difference between the House and Home:at Home- Doors are always open-you are awaited..
Savita, Congratulations!!!!! That’s so wonderful, you did it!
I can just imagine it being a place to retreat to, to go within, where there is gorgeous music and pleasant smells to the senses and a calm and serene environment.
And this serenity will spread to people and the environment around!
Yeeeeyyy! :D
Can someone translate the notes from Spanish into English? Thanks!
Beautiful.I love doors,ancient ones are really beautiful.
;o) and remember that sometimes the door is closed but you are the key to open it.
So don’t feel rejection.
I’m going to either ask a mexican friend or online translator to explain the text now ;o)
“Los verdaderos amigos son aquellos que están a nuestro lado cuando nos suceden las cosas buenas. Nos apoyan y se alegran de nuestras victorias. Los falsos amigos son los que solo aparecen en los momentos difíciles.”
This very lesson I learned just his week. I finally rented a space for my new yoga studio, opening soon, and I sent a text to a “friend” of mine, telling her of this exciting event in my life. I expected that she would be excited for me too – she is always there for me when things are difficult, always eager to hear of my obstacles and downfalls – but her response to this news was less than congratulatory. Far from being excited for me, she seemed cold and spoke not one word congratulating me or offering her support. She sounded almost disheartened, spoke only discouragingly, and her tone was one of obvious disappointment, and perhaps even jealousy.
At first I was a little angered by this. Then I thought, “No, this is good.” Now I know that she wasn’t ever really my friend at all – she was only my friend “when I was down” because taking part in my failures with me, apparently, made her feel somehow superior, and thus better about herself. My conclusion: I won’t delete her from my contact list, and I will answer politely if she calls, but I won’t “pursue” this “friendship” that really isn’t much of a friendship at all. Life is enough of a challenge as it is, without surrounding ourselves with people who are only intent upon dragging us down.
Thanks for the slide-show! It was wonderful.
Dear Paulo,
El ser humano tienes dos grandes problemas el primero es saber cuando comenzar el secundo es saber cuando parar.
Being human has two problems, the first one is knowing when to start and the second one is knowing when to stop.
La libertad no es la ausencia de compromisos, sino la capacidad de escoger – y – comprometerme – en lo que es mejor para mi.
Freedom is not the absence of commitment if not the ability to choose and commit – with what is best for me
El amor es una fuerza salvaje. Cuando intentamos controlarlo, nos destruye, cuando intentamos ap risionarlo, nos esclaviza. Cuando intentamos entenderlo, nos dejas perdidos y confusos.
Love is a wild force, when we try to control it, it destroys us, when we try to entrap it, it enslaves us, when we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused.
No se cuanto tiempo va a durar este sueno, pero decido vivir cada momento como si fuese el ultimo.
I don’t know how long this dream is going to last, however I decide to live each moment as if it was the last.
Los verdadores amigos son aquellos que estan a nuestros lado cuando nos suceden las cosas buenas. Nos apoyan se alegran de nuestras victorias. Los falsos amigos son los que solos aparecen en los momentos dificilos.
The true friends are those who are on our side when we do things well. They support us and rejoice with us in our victories. The false friends are those who only appear in difficult times.
Love
Really interesting idea .I guess the lines matches the pictures.I was thinking that I wont understand,but is a language with Latin roots,so I guessed all .Great
Coincidence?! Maybe nothing is really a coincidence in life. Yesterday night i had a dream: i being surrounded by colourful wooden doors, all locked. i didn’t had a good feeling about the dream but now i think, maybe, i foretold this new entry on your blog ::)). i know, i’m crazy but what should a life be like without a little bit of crazziness?!
the messages contained in this slide show make me think that even if a door is closed that does not mean that there are no possibilities left. all it takes is just try to open it armed with goodwill love and kindness.
