This writing is based on what I’m learning from the past, and present.
Taking into account the ups and downs, memories, mistakes, anecdotes, and much more.

So without further introduction, here it goes:

1. You are capable:

You are capable of creating and inventing. Able to grow, improve, and be outstanding.
You are as capable as the one next to you. You are as capable as that person you admire.
You are capable of succeeding in what you decide, and more!

Not everything is easy nor it comes quickly; nothing is free. Do not forget that you will achieve whatever you want, with the influence of many and diverse factors. Some that you should always keep in mind are perseverance, commitment, respect, and discipline.

2. You are enough:

Please don’t hesitate, nor a bit. It doesn’t matter what other people say. Remember that your value is not defined by others, it’s defined by you.
Stop comparing. Believe in yourself.

Trust that you are enough to achieve what you set out to do.

3. You are important:

Learn this one! Memorize these words by heart: You are someone important.
You are important to your loved ones, people who surround you and appreciate you.

You are important in this world.

4. You are a talented person:

You are talented in your way. With different virtues, abilities, skills, and talents.
Sometimes you are talented with words, also with corporal expression, at other times you find your talent from the heart and outwards.

You are a talented person. So talented that you can always learn something new.
Learn to recognize what it’s not right, but also recognize what needs to be preserved.

Don’t forget that talents are heterogeneous, with no strings attached, no restrictions, or perfect definitions. Invent yours…

5. You are a human being:

It doesn’t matter what situation you are in. Do not forget that you are a human being, a person of flesh and blood, not a robot, or anything similar.
Just like you, there are millions. Remember that you are not better or superior to anyone: we’re all the same. 

You have limits, you have feelings, you have your good moments and other days that will be gray and dark. You are in this world to live and share. 
So live and enjoy the tour.

Forgive yourself, love yourself, and recognize that you are a human being, a person who will never be totally perfect. That is precisely the most valuable thing.
It’s okay to fly, it’s okay to fall, it’s okay to dream, it’s okay to be wrong, it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to forgive, it’s okay to ask for help.

Remember… in this crazy life, anything is possible!

6. One day at a time:

Enjoy every day. When you get up and when you finish the day, don’t forget to be thankful for one more opportunity. Take a break.

Share those good times. Share all those strength and energy that you can feel with your loved ones and those who need it.

7. Not everything is permanent:

Not everything is about work, not everything is represented by a number or money. Not everything is «I’m in a hurry» not everything is «now».

Take advantage of your opportunities and experiences. Don’t suffer the transitions. Accept that changes come and appear when you least planned it.
You have lived good and excellent moments. Remember them and appreciate each one, because new ones will come.

8. Forget, forgive and keep moving forward:

You don’t get anything with regret. It does not return time, it does not change circumstances.
So don’t spend your time and strength on it, but learn what is necessary.

9. You are not running out of time:

Don’t rush… Be patient. Keep working on that part. Seriously, you can’t control everything, not the clock, not external factors, not everyone else.
There is no such thing as a list that says how, when, or where. There is no guide to your life… So relax!

The small details also count. It all adds up; a sunset, the looks, a hug, a smile, and a good laugh…

10. Speak out:

Do not stay in silence. Don’t save or hide words, feelings, or ideas.
Do not close yourself to anything! Just as you give the advice, you must follow it as well.

Finally, as long as there is life, everything is possible.
