Love is the key to strive to become better than we are
Written byMonica Cardenas
"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist.
During this time of uncertainty and change, let's not focus on all the negative but also all the positive things happening around us. ⠀
Humanity is going through an unfortunate and challenging time; that's undeniable; But taking all these into account, let's also take the time to see all the kindness, love, and beauty of people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our planet is taking a break from our decisions; animals are walking the streets and enjoying the waters they usually can't because we have overtaken the world. We are being able to spend time with our loved ones and reconnect not only with them but also with ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world moves fast; we are continually making decisions, planning, moving. Let's stay home; let's do it not only for us but with the mindset that we are doing it for all the people around us, the ones we don't know, but we see on the street, groceries, gas stations, stores, our community. We owe each other that much.⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will get through this together. This planet is our home. Our communities build our cities; our cities build our states, our states, our country, our countries, our continents, our continents, our world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all need to be part of the solution in the best way possible, so those who are out there, the warriors dealing firsthand with this awful situation, have a better chance to fight and win. That is the least that we can do for them. All these workers are putting themselves in what looks like a zone of war.
All the personnel in different fields are fighting with all they currently have. From the cleaning crews in the various areas to the grocery store staff. The drivers are moving goods across the country—the people in the healthcare system with countless hours without sleep. To the people involved in some way on this fight that I didn't mention, please know you have our endless gratitude for all these weeks of hard, emotional, draining work you've done.
We will get through this together because there is more love than fear in the world.
