I’m not a blogger, I’m an occasional writer… November 17, 2010

Even when I decide that I want to dedicate time and thoughts, it doesn’t seem possible. I guess this takes more than I was willing to give, yet I come back… because I still like it, and I can’t deny how incredibly amazing it feels just to let go.
Lately, many things have passed and I decided to just let it flow and not be too controversial about it, I’m referring to my health… I’ve had issues, but slowly and gladly I’ve been healing and that is good, with 26 pounds gone… things are just looking fine ahead.
In my twitter account, I posted two words tonight, that I cannot get out of my head: ‘courage’ and ‘determination’… two very simple words that are surrounded with so much depth that it’s a little too much when you start thinking about them slowly and independently.
Courage -a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear- is just to remind me that everyday I am presented with new battles and new encounters that defy my way of thinking, acting and living. It is with courage that I am able to put a stop to things that are of harm, and also gives me the power to sit back, relax and face things with determination -the quality of being determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose- this craving of setting everything straight and just follow through and get things done, making sure that what I achieve is something that I want and something that I need.
Two words, two very simple words that without paying that much of attention can stir up your world and change everything you think about your life and how to lead it.
It’s weird how in the process of making this entry a phrase just pops into my head… ‘letting go’. With courage and determination you are able to let go of those things that hold you back, those decisions that you’ve lacked to make that turn all of your days into stages of mourning and discomfort, and yet you keep it, because you haven’t been courageous enough to determine that those things need to be left out and because of the constant fear of change, you don’t.
Once you let go, the good part comes… maybe not as quick as you would want, but it comes and there’s nothing more fulfilling than ‘embracing’ those things, those new things in life that are present to test our values and to turn us into the human beings we were destined to be.
Courage and determination…
Courage and determination…
