Is the tsunami coming?
06 October 2020
Useless
to deny it: black days are there! The days when the facts meet to
hurl you against a good wave. A tsunami, let's face it. And while
you're there, tossing and turning and maybe shouting, screaming,
getting angry and swearing against the "bad life" a part of
you...must remain calm! But how do you, you tell me, stay calm during
a tsunami?! One
must appeal to a thought that seems trivial but is actually the
secret of awareness. Life is never "bad". When it takes you
down is because without that lesson you would not see things that the
storm, or a moment of sudden stop, force you to see. And you know the
secret to not losing your centre of gravity even when you're yelling
and spitting poison and getting outraged? Hold the target firmly
within yourself. Deep down inside you, that light must stay on at all
times! If on the surface everything looks negative, inside you there
must be that positive pivot that makes you rotate in a new direction.
Like Christopher Columbus on his way to the discovery of the
Indies... he had the lens always straight ahead! The
point is, the tsunami makes sense. You'll find out later, what it
was. The important thing is not to get dragged into emotional turmoil
and keep clear in the back of your mind where you are headed! There
are things that are priceless for each of us: the smile of your
child, a beautiful day in your life, a dream that is close to your
heart, whatever makes you feel good. Hang on to those positive
feelings and go through the storm. The tsunami is a great opportunity
to critically examine situations: someone you've given undeserved
confidence to, some responsibility improperly discharged, something
you didn't want to see. In the end, if we are aware that everything
that arrives has the task of showing us something important, we will
endure a sudden stop, an unexpected accident, in a different way.
When we are stopped or in the middle of a storm we are forced to put
in extra ordinary resources. In my difficult moments I think of the
ocean, which has the power to calm me and give me a sense of infinite
beauty. And you want to know something? When everything goes well, I
never give it my best. On the contrary, it is in difficult moments
that my senses refine, that adrenaline rises, that I give the best of
myself! I think it'll just be an obstacle in the way and... I'll get
over it. Moments of darkness always lead to a quantum leap.
