Venciendo las dificultades

0:00 Why the affective relationships I have are not stable. I like assertiveness because it invites us to prudence that what should motivate our word is always love is You and that is already the basis to go out to conquer many goals, to fight, to give a better version and enjoy life fully. You know life is full of adverse situations. I could say that they give existence a taste, a sense. Without adversity, life would be unbridled and even linear, filling us with weariness and boredom. That is why we cannot deny the existence of that situation. What we have to do is figure out how we can deal with them. So when you start asking yourself what I do to avoid trouble, you find the wrong answers. What you have to ask is how I face life' s problems. You cannot be exonerated, be exonerated from conflicts, pain, rupture, difficult situations. What you have to do to

1:38 be happy is learn to face them, learn to find attitudes, actions, words that help you solve them that help you move on. I have to say that, from my spiritual experience, I firmly believe that behind each of those situations there is a growth, a development, I say it in religious terms, there is a blessing. I believe that firmly. Behind every complex difficult experience, behind every adversity, there is a learning, there is a life lesson. Ah, what I need is to find him. What I need is to be able to specify what it is that teaches me, which causes me so much pain. I understand that it is not easy for many to accept this statement, because sometimes it is very difficult to believe that such a painful situation, so hard, so difficult, generates a growth, gives me a blessing. But my claim is that there is and you need to find her. That is why today I assure you that there is always the

3:12 opportunity to use that so painful, that so difficult, to grow, to mature, to be a better person. The important thing is not to be amylized, not to be won by the feelings of pessimism that may be living in the midst of that adversity, in the midst of that combat, let alone lose hope and fall into that magical look that makes us believe that everything is lost and that nothing can be done. It is necessary to continue living in love, in hope, in faith. To do this, I propose an analysis of these three attitudes. The first one, love. I think love is the fuel of everything. It is what can make us understand the most complex realities. It is the reality that allows us a motivation to sacrifice ourselves, to stand. In spite of so many attacks. Love makes us find reasons for that which hurts us so much. And when I talk about love, I talk about self- love, I talk about love to those

4:42 people who are so important in life and, of course, I talk about a spiritual experience of love. We also cannot let those situations fill our lives with hate for revenge, because you and I were born to love and were born to give us generously, to receive others generously. I share that when I am in difficult times, in times of adversity, when I feel shaken by the dynamics of pain, I always think of the people who love me, those people for whom I am very important, for those people who surely want to help me solve the problem and then I feel welcome, I feel recognized, I feel driven by the love that those people give me. Ah I also think of those whom I love, those who are waiting for me with more strength and maturity to continue helping them to live happily, those who await me completely at home, those who are thinking of me today, who pray for me, who generously serve my life project. Love is fundamental to

6:14 finding meaning to adversity, to the difficulties I live. It is love that fills me with strength to move forward. Think of those who love you and also of those who love you. Second, faith that for me is always faith in oneself. First, I believe in myself, I believe in what I am able to do, I believe in what I have done throughout history. It is also faith in others, in those who have objectively demonstrated that they deserve my trust, in those who have demonstrated in the battles of life, that they are loyal, that they do not leave me, that they accompany me. And of course, faith in God, in him who has given us life, who has called us to existence, in whom he sustains us every day, because it is he who allows us to continue to exist.

7:15 He' s the one who gives us the self. It is he who never abandons us, even though we have. Our spiritual experience has to be an experience, a relationship. It must be intimate, it must be intense, not only in times of difficulties, but more in times of difficulties. I must always be developing my spiritual skills. But, sure, where I need that most is at the time of pain and it' s at the time of suffering. Hear that spirituality serves you to believe, that you will succeed, to believe that there is God' s help from within you, that enables you, that strengthens you to overcome what is in front of you. Sure, it won' t exonerate you from the difficulty. Sure, it' s not gonna be magic and it' s not gonna snap your fingers to make the difficulties go away, but it' s gonna act on you to get you through. And third, hope, which is the consequence of love and faith. If we do not know loved ones, if we believe and trust in God, then we have hope. I mean, we think tomorrow will be better, we think the future will come pregnant with

8:46 good things. That' s why I hope, but I' m actively waiting. That means that every minute is a battle engagement, an effort of intelligent answers. Hope, faith love are three attitudes that characterize the spiritual human being in the midst of difficulty. And there are three attitudes that allow us to find the teachings, the choices behind the adversities. So, today, looking into your eyes at you, you' re always with me in this podcast, in these episodes. I want to invite you to go ahead, to give up the battle, not to give up, to trust that you can achieve everything you require and to know how to specify what life lessons are hidden behind that experience.
