My credo, my plans, my objectives
I can put it “very simply”, because the word itself says it: I have faith and religion. I believe that our lives are not the work of chance. I believe that we are born on this earth with a purpose and a mission. I believe that our life is a unique and unrepeatable sacrament. I believe that every person’s life is a miracle, and that each of us who make it through life, from birth to death, deserve to be honored. I believe that man is not a puppet in his own life, but that he can shape his destiny with his free will. I believe and know that our life is a learning process, so we must not allow ourselves to fall behind. We must remain vigilant and enthusiastic in our efforts to make our own lives and the lives of those around us more joyful, more beautiful, or just more enjoyable and happy in the present moment. If you ask me about my plans, I can tell you that I am a great planner. I love making plans: daily, weekly, yearly, even 5 or 10 year plans, which I constantly “make” for myself, writing them down in my diaries, only to find out years later that it turned out completely differently! Sometimes it was much better or, to put it mildly, not what I had in mind. Regardless! Making plans is good! Setting goals is good! And fighting to achieve them is great! But in the process I never forget: – Man makes plans…
What is the secret of success?
Success has objective and subjective “secrets”. From a very objective point of view, there is no “worldly success” without hard and persistent work, but it is also essential to believe that everything that happens to us is for our benefit, that even the greatest failures and sufferings teach us, if nothing else, how to correct our past actions. For example, our idea of what success is. For me, success is a double concept: success is when we can achieve a goal, whether it is for our own benefit or for the benefit of those around us, but I feel that success is even greater when we are able to live and experience the moment in which we are in the truest sense of the word. The importance of being in the now (although I had heard and read about it before) was something I only understood much later, in the second half of my life. Success, according to this view, is nothing more than existence condensed into a single point. Who I am now. And who is responsible for that? Let each one answer for himself! Let it be my secret.
