Life is Magical
.
La vida es Magica! Life is Magical. This is something I would go around saying as a young kiddo. Early on I could see the magic in people, places and in nature. My hope was always that others could see that it does exist everywhere, especially in themselves. I have always been in awe of the world we live in and extremely observant of the world around me and the people in it. I loved listening in on peoples stories and I watched their behaviors closely. I was slowly gathering information, experiences and ideas that would eventually shape me. I had questions all the time and that didn’t always sit well with everyone.
So when I noticed the impatience and anger around me, I wondered why people were so angry and impatient most of the time. How anyone could be so negative when there are so many beautiful and amazing things to focus on and experience in life left me confused. Well I’m 44 years old now and life showed me why. Life is full of challenging moments and it isn’t so easy navigating it all at times. However, I have experienced immense growth in some of these challenges and for that I am grateful. Sometimes these lessons are crucial for one to evolve and become a better human in this life time.
Even though I could not completely understand what would make some people so unhappy most of the time, I did know that there had to be another way because there were people who I saw enjoying life to the fullest even when things got hard and I wanted to be in that group…..for life. Vida Magica, Life is Magical became my mantra. I promised myself at the wise age of 8 that I would always remind myself that there is good in myself, in others and the world around me at all times, even when challenges arise, and especially when people who were suppose to keep me safe and show me love didn’t. I just had to stay in my light and never forget my true essence.
The chaos in the world will never end but the love and beauty in it will always be greater. I’m just here in this magical world trying to become the alchemist to my Vida Magica!
