It's easy to live with your head down, a victim, not owing anything to anyone, just doing whatever you want, wallowing in your pain.
Easy for some. Not for me.
I've always been a positive person, always tried to live happy. No matter what came my way, I could always find the "lado amable" the positive side of things. This blind faith manifested itself with success in my career, success with familia, success with life.
To be able to go through life with that type of confidence, I have learned, is a blessing. To be able to come back from a major disappointment or trauma, that's a blessing times 12.
My life is completely different since that 12/12/12 when I received that fateful call from La Virgen de Guadalupe. I was at the end of my rope - my professional reputation had been stomped to the floor, my personal life in shambles, my family and friends caught between worry and wanting to step away from me. I couldn't concentrate on anything, couldn't sleep, couldn't think...until 12/12/12.
It didn't happen right away but I did feel an important shift in my life. I stopped walking around with my head down, decided that I was not a victim, and eventually, I stopped wallowing in my pain and did whatever I wanted to do. I'm grateful that I don't need the constant care that I did then, that I can celebrate 12/12 not owing one thing to anyone...especially those who tried to bring me down and do me wrong.
Blessings feel great. I will be looking for the blessings in all areas of my life. That's how I will be able to live a life full of positivity.
