If you knew
that you could

Have you ever reached a point where you
feel as if you don’t achieve any of the things
that you propose yourself?
Have you ever felt that no matter what you
try, it never comes out the way you intended
it to be? You are going to say probably yes
just like many others will. Probably, just
like you, they got to the point that they tell
themselves that they can’t go on doing things
the same way. Some people give up and allow
that weariness and fears defeat and wipe out
their most burning desires. Others, instead,
decide that they must change the approach
and go on connecting with their inner fire.
The ability of transforming our life is
unlimited with both determination and a big
sense of personal responsibility. You will
never know who you are and what you can
do if you don’t decide to find it out.
Life is continuously changing, you can see
it around you. It’s nonstop changing even
if you don’t notice it; moreover these inner
changes are led by a quite long process, many
times painful and at the same time liberating;
you will feel then sad and not capable to get
out of this vicious circle; telling yourself
yet one more time: “I’m not enough, I don’t
have the right to dream, who am I to believe
this, I’m despicable”; a manipulative voice
that makes you accept that it’s better not to
make an effort, with plenty of excuses and
guilt that will make you give up and live a
life that doesn’t make you happy.
Nature itself sets limits too, the point where
you tell yourself that you can’t go on living
full of anger or sadness, immediately you
realize that you start thinking differently,
you feel different; sometimes it sounds like
an inner crake, like something is breaking
inside yourself and frees you, opens your
eyes and you find out that your burning
desire resides there, untouched, giving you
the strength to go on fighting.
At this point we enter what I call the Circle
of Determination, this is a state when you
become aware of what you want, where to
find yourself, who is this person with this
powerful inner strength, you don’t accept
or care what the others think about you and
connect yourself instead with this strength
to achieve wonderful things and without
noticing it, you become who you want to be.
The absence of determination is frustration,
without it we feel empty, disillusioned if not
bored, so “stop living other people’s life, give
up excuses, convince yourself and believe in
this strength”, this allows you to conquer the
