Siguiendo con la versión chic de Las Littles, esta semana os voy a ir presentando, día a día, las littles que he estado haciendo ultimamente.
Pero antes, una reflexión que Charles Chaplin hizo en el discurso de su 70 cumpleaños, que me encanta y con la que me identifico mucho:
CUANDO ME AMÉ DE VERDAD
Cuando
me amé de verdad, comprendí que en cualquier circunstancia, yo estaba
en el lugar correcto y en el momento preciso. Y, entonces, pude
relajarme. Hoy sé que eso tiene nombre… autoestima.
Cuando me amé de verdad, pude percibir que mi
angustia y mi sufrimiento emocional, no son sino señales de que voy
contra mis propias verdades. Hoy sé que eso es… autenticidad.
Cuando me amé de verdad, dejé de desear que mi
vida fuera diferente, y comencé a ver que todo lo que acontece
contribuye a mi crecimiento. Hoy sé que eso se llama… madurez.
Cuando me amé de verdad, comencé a comprender
por qué es ofensivo tratar de forzar una situación o a una persona, solo
para alcanzar aquello que deseo, aún sabiendo que no es el momento o
que la persona (tal vez yo mismo) no está preparada. Hoy sé que el
nombre de eso es… respeto.
Cuando me amé de verdad, comencé a librarme de
todo lo que no fuese saludable: personas y situaciones, todo y cualquier
cosa que me empujara hacia abajo. Al principio, mi razón llamó egoísmo a
esa actitud. Hoy sé que se llama… amor hacia uno mismo.
Cuando me amé de verdad, dejé de preocuparme por
no tener tiempo libre y desistí de hacer grandes planes, abandoné los
mega-proyectos de futuro. Hoy hago lo que encuentro correcto, lo que me
gusta, cuando quiero y a mi propio ritmo. Hoy sé, que eso es… simplicidad.
Cuando me amé de verdad, desistí de querer tener siempre la razón y, con eso, erré muchas menos veces. Así descubrí la… humildad.
Cuando me amé de verdad, desistí de quedar
reviviendo el pasado y de preocuparme por el futuro. Ahora, me mantengo
en el presente, que es donde la vida acontece. Hoy vivo un día a la vez.
Y eso se llama… plenitud.
Cuando me amé de verdad, comprendí que mi mente
puede atormentarme y decepcionarme. Pero cuando yo la coloco al servicio
de mi corazón, es una valiosa aliada. Y esto es… saber vivir!
No debemos tener miedo de cuestionarnos… Hasta los planetas chocan y del caos nacen las estrellas.
Following with the chic version of the Littles, I am going to show you, day by day, the Littles that I have been making lately.
But before I do so, let me show you some thoughts that Charles Chaplin read in his 70th Birthday Speech. I like it very much and I relate to it deeply.
AS I BEGAN TO LOVE MYSELF
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I
know, this is AUTHENTICITY.
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it RESPECT.
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it MATURITY.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment, so I could be calm. Today I call it SELF-CONFIDENCE.
As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it SIMPLICITY.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.Today I know it is LOVE OF ONESELF.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is MODESTY.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it FULFILLMENT.
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART.
We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
Today I know THAT IS LIFE!
