En mi poca experiencia me he dado cuenta que solo con el corazón podemos hacer bien las cosas, ya sea personalmente o en nuestras relaciones, en nuestras creencias, trabajos, etc... Es de las pocas cosas que se con total seguridad. Y pienso que me ha funcionado bien. #corazon #conelcorazon #heart #joyeria #diseño #DiseñadordeJoyeria #amoloquehago https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OwyNLBaI1/?igshid=m1vtr90dnapg

The Power of All

I am currently living in Mexico City and Yesterday we suffered a great tragedy. A devastating earthquake shook our capital and caused sever damage to the point were buildings collapsed and there were casualties (May They Rest in Peace]). 

But through the tragedy I am incredibly humbled by the way everyone came together to start helping and creating the opportunities to save those still trapped under the rubble. Not ten minutes had passed since the earthquake and everyone joined together in whatever way they could to help. Were it by partyicipating in the rescue efforts or by rescuing stray pets and buying much needed supplies for donation.

In the midst of tragedy everyone forgot their social classes or their issues with one another and we all became one people united under the mission of helping the country through this ordeal. 

This I believe is a micro example of the way humanity behaves at its best moments. I say micro because the whole of humanity is way more than those that live in just one city. Though this is the way people are behaving through the tragedy I cannot believe that there are still greater issues going on in the planet. 

Instead of getting together to speak about how to really stop war, and hunger and global warming and any of the greater issues that plague the planet today, we still get divided by our perceived differences. We come to think that everyone else is out to get us so we must put up barriers and play a game where someone inevitably loses instead of designing the game so we can all win. It really is no longer fair to have this kind of attitude.

In the midst of our tragedy I hope we may find a way to learn to live in community in a way that is best for all of us.

What is Courage?

Courage is a Virtue I think about often. And I say virtue because I think of it as a whole attitude towards life. It is the voice at the end of the days that says “I’ll Try Again Tomorrow.” 

I think of Courage as the one greatest mindset anyone could adopt.

I dont say this lightly because Courage by definition is a means to an end, a path to walk upon not a destination, the road less traveled in a world every time more ridden with comforts that keep us tied down to a chair without transcending.

Anything from talking to a stranger on the elevator at work to starting your own business or deciding to quit to travel the world is an act of courage. It is something that cannot be defined by the acts of others since everyones courage is measured by their own comfort zone and way of thinking.

We cannot truly believe that life is something that is gonna happen by itself.

“If You Want To Achieve Greatness, Stop Asking for Permission.”-Unknown

I write about this because I know I have ways to go wen it comes to my personal courage. Even posting this takes me a bit away from what I am comfortable doing but by doing it I have expanded my comfort zones borders even if by an inch.

I hope you feel the way I do and that we may begin to take courae out of the cocoon of heroic traits and into the commons so that we may see it as something normal in our lives and not just something reserved for the novels.

To My Gardenia

In My Darkness, I Saw a Flower,

And It Bloomed, And It Shined,

The Brightest Light I had Ever Seen,

And I Knew It Would All Be Well...

I Just Knew It.

I Love You Mom...Thank You Forever

Gentlemen Still Exist Pt1.

There is an ever growing Idea that gentlemenkind is slowly fading into extinction. While this may really be happening, there are still those of us that think that there is no option but day to day chivalry in our lives.

I believe fiercely that chivalry means more than only the opening of doors and always paying of bills that us men are expected of carrying along. I believe that being a gentleman extends to all manner of attitudes and ways of life and that it should be directed towards everyone.

Being a gentleman means having an attitude of giving and selflessnes that may only come from inner peace. This inner peace should be driven by our passions and our courage to pursue them for that is where I believe that true happiness lies, as the Buddha said “ Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” 

The sharing of our happiness leads to a search to share more of it which in turn creates the self propelled desire to improve onesself day after day. 

We must strive to become better versions of ourselves so that we may inspire the same attitude and start making this world a better place, It all starts with our choice.
