Mental strength

Life basically includes good moments and bad moments, not accepting the latter causes suffering, and we are not prepared from an early age to tolerate frustration and to understand and accept that not everything is good or as we want, we live under the veil of deception, of self-deception, only when we grow up and go through painful moments and crises is that we learn this.

Everything is transitory and volatile, but in spite of this, one must love life in its beauty, it is the secret, if not of happiness, of keeping me on my feet in this life. Faith in God was what saved me from a deep depression. Only God is true, everything else is ephemeral.

From my point of view, resilience is the ability to adapt and overcome the adversities that life presents us with. I have a psychologist friend who provides his services in a dangerous area of my country, and he usually tells me that the patients he treats grew up in a hostile family and environment, which makes them unhappy and problematic people, with antisocial attitudes, they also have more tendency to drug addiction, which is related to scarce economic resources, areas where there is neglect by the state. The hereditary factor is obviously not the norm, but it has a great influence. There are very different lives.

Reading, writing, art, dances, music, sports and other artistic expressions help to make this catharsis that frees the soul from suffering. On the other hand, to be resilient it is necessary to acquire the awareness that we do not have control over what is external to us, death, illness, losses, whatever they may be, and that, on the contrary, if we have control over our attitude and the way we face the stressful situation, acting to accommodate ourselves to the new situation that is presented to us, that is the key. Learn to free ourselves from so much pressure and burden Life is as it is, with falls, successes, happiness, sadness; just as we cry, we also laugh, let's embrace every moment and feeling of us, humans, and only then we can live and not survive.
