Don't ever tell me I'm just a persistent or strong woman. As if it were simple, easy or very common not everyone makes it. Because behind those words there is much more. There is a woman who, despite the adversities and problems that come her way, always maintains an immense faith in herself, in her abilities to move forward. There is not a single day in which I have not seen the hand of God and that gives me great hope.
It has not been the first time I have had to get up after falling. It has not been the first time I have had to start over when everything seemed to be falling apart. My mother has been an example of starting from scratch on many occasions and yet times are different and life is very complicated. Every problem that comes to me is a challenge, yes, but also an opportunity to prove to myself that I am bigger than any difficulty. And whenever it has been my turn to start, it has always been better.
I thank God for the family I have, for the unconditional support that sustains me when I feel I can't go on any longer. They have believed in me even when I doubted, they have told me “go ahead, you can do it” and those words have become the engine that drives me to continue. And for as long as I can remember it has always been like that, it has never been different, they have never let me fall.
I have learned something fundamental: we must insist, persist and believe in ourselves. Believe with all our heart that we can solve difficult situations, because yes, we will succeed. With God's help and a lot of faith, we can achieve the things we want. Believing otherwise is a mortal enemy that could leave us defeated.
Every time I stumble and fall, I get up stronger and I believe that by insisting so much, I achieve it. Every time I start again, I do it with the certainty that this time it will be different because I have learned, because I have grown with each experience. But like everyone else I think and wonder why me? But I know that no matter how many times I have to start from scratch; the important thing is not to lose hope and confidence in myself. With that idea and God's help I will surely, surely succeed.
This is my story, a story of daily struggle but also of self-love and gratitude. Because if God had not helped me, what would I have achieved. This is a story where faith is not just a nice word but the lighthouse that illuminates my dark days and guides me forward. Full of gratitude 🙏.
