Family come first - LOH contest week #260 / La familia va primero - Concurso LOH semana #260 (eng-esp)

in Ladies of Hive2 days ago

Hello, my dear friends.

I'm pleased to join the initiative of @merit.ahama, who, as always, brings us an interesting topic.

The best advice a strong and empowered woman has ever given me didn't come from a management book or a success guru. It came from my mother-in-law, a woman who has supported her family with a strength that commands my respect.

One day, while talking about the future, she looked at me with that seriousness that brooks no reply and said: "Always put family first. That is the greatest and most beautiful thing a person has."

At that moment, I understood that he wasn't just talking about an obligation, but about a strategic priority for living a meaningful life. His advice had a scope that I came to understand over time.

For me, family isn't limited to blood ties. Family is, above all, the one we create. It's the one we choose out of affinity, commitment, and love.

It includes my wife, of course, but also those friends who have shown loyalty over the years, who have become like brothers without sharing a last name.
It's the circle of people with whom you build a life, not just out of obligation, but by choice.

This family we build is the practical and irreplaceable refuge to which we always return. It's not an abstract concept.
It's the physical and emotional place you go to celebrate a professional triumph, knowing that the joy will be genuine.
And above all, it's the safe haven you turn to in difficult times, when the outside world becomes complicated or hostile, to seek honest advice, silent comfort, or simply the support of a non-judgmental presence.

The final, and most important, lesson is the quality of that bond. Family, in its broadest definition, is the love that stays by your side, no matter what.
It's not a love conditional on success or ease. It's unconditional. Knowing that safety net exists, that secure foundation, is what gives you the courage to take risks, to fail, and to try again.

Putting family first isn't a sacrifice; it's the smartest decision I've ever made. It's recognizing that success alone is tasteless, and that failure alone is unbearable.
They are the foundation that makes everything else possible and, above all, worthwhile.

Hola, estimadas mías.

Con gusto me uno a la iniciativa de @merit.ahama, quien, como siempre, nos trae un tema interesante.

El mejor consejo que me ha dado una mujer fuerte y empoderada no vino de un libro de management o de un gurú del éxito. Me lo dio mi suegra, una mujer que ha sostenido a su familia con una fortaleza que me impone respeto.
Un día, hablando del futuro, me miró con esa seriedad que no admite réplica y me dijo: "Pon siempre primero a la familia. Eso es lo más grande y hermoso que tiene una persona".

En ese momento, entendí que no hablaba solo de una obligación, sino de una prioridad estratégica para vivir una vida con sentido. Su consejo tenía un alcance que fui comprendiendo con el tiempo.

Para mí, la familia no se limita a los lazos de sangre. La familia es, sobre todo, la que creamos nosotros. Es la que se elige por afinidad, compromiso y amor.

Incluye a mi esposa, por supuesto, pero también a esos amigos que han demostrado lealtad a lo largo de los años, que se han convertido en hermanos sin compartir un apellido.
Es el círculo de personas con las que construyes una vida, no solo por obligación, sino por elección.

Esta familia que construimos es el refugio práctico e irremplazable al que siempre regresamos. No es un concepto abstracto.
Es el lugar físico y emocional al que vas para celebrar un triunfo profesional, sabiendo que la alegría será genuina.
Y es, sobre todo, el puerto seguro al que acudes en los malos momentos, cuando el mundo exterior se vuelve complicado o hostil, para buscar un consejo honesto, un consuelo silencioso o simplemente el apoyo de una presencia que no te juzga.

La lección final, y la más importante, es la cualidad de ese vínculo. La familia, en su definición más amplia, es la que se mantiene a tu lado, pase lo que pase.
No es un amor condicionado al éxito o a la facilidad. Es incondicional. Saber que existe esa red, ese fondo seguro, es lo que te da el valor para arriesgarte, para fracasar y para intentarlo de nuevo.

Poner a la familia primero no es un sacrificio; es la decisión más inteligente que he tomado. Es reconocer que el éxito solitario no tiene sabor, y que el fracaso en soledad es insoportable.
Ellos son el cimiento que hace que todo lo demás sea posible y, sobre todo, que valga la pena.

Yes, the family is our identity, refuge and more.
I'm glad that family unit is still valued as the important foundation of any culture. It's crazy to see my own citizens of Canada criticize and attack the nuclear family with their liberal agendas.
