Many times, if not always, the plans we draw up are not the plans that God wants for our lives.  That's what happened to Isabel. That's what happened to me. No, I don't have cancer, but life also threw me a curveball. Most likely, I have more than 6 months of life left, although nothing is certain. If you listened to episode 10 of my podcast, you'll hear my story from when I was born until today. I always aspired to higher dreams and goals. One of those dreams was to turn my old company into a major multinational. I was born in July, and according to the zodiac horoscope, my sign is Cancer. These are people who value family a lot. In 2023, I divorced from my former partner, stopped living with my daughters, and a month later, closed my company. I lost the house where I lived, I can't have anything in my name or I lose it. I live in fear of opening the mailbox because a seizure or a court letter could suddenly appear. I live alone, and three weeks ago, I lost my father. However, I can assure you that I've never felt as peaceful as I do now. To get here, I had to be at the bottom of a black hole, without light, cold, damp. Alone with my thoughts. It was during those times that I began to rebuild myself. Not to reclaim what I lost because it's no longer worth it, but to become a more mature, confident, and secure human being. God put people on my path who helped me in this process. Because there is no self-made man. And yes, I'll repeat myself, I'm at peace with myself. If you go to my personal Instagram and Facebook page, you'll find many photos of the sunrise. Almost every day, I go running. I always see the sun rising on those days. Such a beautiful spectacle that I try to capture with my phone so that you can feel a tiny part of what it's like to witness this spectacle (for free). You can't imagine the pleasure I have in watching it from the front row. I have other pleasures in life, like this podcast, or being with my daughters, or watching them play volleyball or basketball. Or opening the door of my house at the end of the day. Hearing the birds' orchestra early in the morning. Talking to more experienced people in life. Or meeting Isabel Veloso and her life story. Turning pain into gratitude. Turning pain into serving others. Living life in the present! Yes, I wish my material problem were solved. It will be, I can guarantee you that. It's just a matter of time! I would love for my daughters to live with me. But they're fine, and if they're fine, I'm fine. I would love to have a big company. I will, in the medium term future. I would love to be able to pay all the people my company owes. It will be done in due time.  I would love for my father to be alive. He's not, and he won't be back, but I will continue to use his smile and kindness towards others. I found peace within myself. I found this love for life within myself. Just like Isabel Veloso, this podcast is also a celebration of life... that renews itself every week so that all of us, including me, can be even happier.  Just like Isabel Veloso, it's through transforming pain into joy that I plan to live the rest of my life. There's no need to search for the Holy Grail because it resides within me.
