Ascoltarsi

Prima di poter ascoltare bene
un’altra persona, bisogna dedicare del tempo
all’ascolto di sé.
A volte, quando cerchiamo
di ascoltare un altro, non riusciamo a sentire
cosa ci sta dicendo perché le emozioni e
i pensieri più intensi che abbiamo dentro
sono troppo forti e reclamano la nostra
attenzione.
Bisogna sviluppare la capacità di sedere
in quiete, tornare a noi stessi e ascoltare le
emozioni che emergono, senza giudicarle
o interromperle.
Possiamo ascoltare anche
i pensieri che si presentano e poi lasciarli
passare senza trattenerli.
Una volta dedicato
un po’ di tempo all’ascolto di sé, possiamo
rivolgerci all’ascolto dell’altro.

Listening to yourself

Before you can listen properly
to another person, you need to spend some time
listening to yourself.
Sometimes, when we try
to listen to someone else, we cannot hear
what they are saying because the intense emotions and
thoughts we have inside us
are too strong and demand our
attention.
We need to develop the ability to sit
quietly, return to ourselves and listen to the
emotions that arise, without judging
or interrupting them.
We can also listen to
the thoughts that arise and then let them
pass without holding on to them.
Once we have spent
some time listening to ourselves, we can
turn our attention to listening to others.

What a privilege to be tired from a job you once begged the universe for.
What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth
you once dreamed of.
What a privilege to surpass what you once settled for.

There are moments in life when everything pushes you to give up.
When doors close and people disappear.
You wake up in the morning and the only thing you feel is the weight.
The weight of disappointment and fatigue that no one sees, but it is precisely in those moments that you decide who you really are.
Someone who falls and stays down.
Or someone who gets back up with broken bones and a fiery gaze.
Life gives nothing away for free.
But it rewards those who don't give up.
Pain is not an enemy, it is a coach.
It tempers you.
It tests you.
Every time you get back up, you are no longer the same, you are stronger, more aware, more alive.
Don't give up.
Not even when the road is all uphill, not even when no one believes in you.
Because courage is not about not being afraid.
Courage is choosing to move forward despite fear.
It is saying I will try again even if I have failed a hundred times.

It doesn't matter if you wear clothes from the market or go out with a pair of £10 shoes; life is not measured by brands or the price of the things we own.
Even eating a pizza sitting on the pavement can be a gesture of freedom and authenticity.
No matter how broken your car is, it can be a means to unexpected adventures.
Even if your phone is imperfect, it can be a bridge to the people you love.
Having only £10 in your pocket does not determine your worth.
It is not possessions that make the difference, but what you carry inside.
It is love, generosity and compassion that truly enrich a person.
You can own a castle or a Ferrari, but without a heart, these riches are meaningless.
Being noble does not come from the things we have, but from the quality of our soul and the way we treat others.
True greatness lies within us.

Our scars make us who we are.
We mustn't go back and fix them.
There's no part of you that needs fixing.
Take it from a man who's made plenty of mistakes.
Don't relive the past.
Live your life.

I love people who still know how to say:
‘Excuse me, thank you, please’, regardless.
