Maybe you would start by listing material things, but think with your heart and really become aware: Do you have the life you want to have? What are you still missing?

Our life is like a journey, it is full of moments, some more memorable than others, pause for a moment to think, if you would be at the end of the road, what are the footprints you wish to leave?


Greetings to all the ladies of the community. Certainly, the true meaning of life does not lie in material things, although they are extremely necessary to be able to live at this time. However, in reflecting on whether I have the life I desire I have been thinking about the experiences I have had throughout my life and the relationships I have cultivated. Since I began stumbling over my own mistakes I have learned and grown in various aspects of my life. My own personal demands have led me to new knowledge, which has enriched and broadened my perspective of the world in a general way. So I feel content with the life I have; I will always want to do new things or improve the way I currently live. It's a good thing to have this kind of ambition, when it doesn't hurt other people or yourself. However, I like that the things that have the highest priority in my life are family, true friends and my own well-being.

In these times when people are so agitated, looking for a way to survive, the material part has become the center of life, because the truth is that you can't live without love, but without that feeling either. Who doesn't miss spending a whole day sharing with friends or family, without the worry of having to make money to buy food for the week, or having enough money to buy medicine for a sick family member? Buying medicine has become a real dilemma around here and it wasn't like that before. I think that for most people the material aspect is not so important, but necessary to keep alive, close and happy the people they love, who give true meaning to life.

Now, when I imagine the end of my journey in this life it makes me laugh, because since I was a little girl my dad used to tell me that he was eternal, so I grew up saying the same thing, although deep down I know it's not so 😆. Maybe I'll last about 200 years 😅. Right now, I think the best footprint I could leave would be a son whom I inspire and educate to pursue his dreams and not be afraid to be authentic. Sometimes I get to thinking if it wouldn't be too selfish of me to bring a child into this world that is getting more complex by the day and it makes me sad what he or she might go through without me being able to protect him or her from everything. But I would like to have a male child who is loving, compassionate and curious and I would like him to see me as his best friend, not his mom. I want him to grow up to be a person who knows how to listen to others and have the maturity to learn from his mistakes, cherish every moment of his life and be extremely healthy 😁. For me, this would be my best legacy, because the footprints are not only to impact the life of another person, but also our own, because by raising a human being with the ability to be a good person and fundamentally with the gift of love, we are changing the inner and outer world. If you think about it, things are as they are today because of the lack of love. There is no love for nature in general, nor for animals, much less for human beings themselves. If people would start to really (sincerely) love, things would change for the better.

So, as we continue the difficult journey of life 😁 we should commit ourselves to live with the best of intentions, to create memorable moments and try to be a light in the darkness, because I once read in a scientific article (I can't remember which one) that as long as one person had a positive thought among many with thousands of negative thoughts the probability of things going wrong or an accident was minimal, hence the importance of always thinking positive.


Tal vez empezarías por enumerar las cosas materiales, pero piensa con el corazón y toma conciencia de verdad: ¿Tienes la vida que quieres tener? Qué te falta todavía?

Nuestra vida es como un viaje, está llena de momentos, unos más memorables que otros, párate un momento a pensar, si estuvieras al final del camino, ¿cuáles son las huellas que deseas dejar?


Un saludo para todas las damas de la comunidad. Ciertamente, el verdadero sentido de la vida no radica en las cosas materiales, aunque son sumamente necesarias para poder vivir en estos momentos. No obstante, al reflexionar sobre si tengo la vida que deseo me he puesto a pensar en las experiencias que he tenido a lo largo de mi vida y las relaciones que he cultivado. Desde que comencé a tropezar con mis propios errores he aprendido y crecido en diversos aspectos de mi vida. Mis propias exigencias personales me han llevado a tener nuevos conocimientos, lo que ha enriquecido y ampliado mi perspectiva del mundo de forma general. Así que me siento conforme con la vida que tengo; siempre voy a querer hacer nuevas cosas o mejorar la forma en la que vivo actualmente. Es algo bueno tener este tipo de ambición, cuando no le hace daño a otras personas o a uno mismo. Sin embargo, me gusta que las cosas que tienen mayor prioridad en mi vida sean la familia, los verdaderos amigos y mi propio bienestar.

En estos momentos en el que las personas estamos tan agitadas, buscando la manera de sobrevivir, la parte material se ha convertido el centro de la vida, porque la verdad es que de amor no se puede vivir, pero sin ese sentimiento tampoco. ¿Quién no extraña pasarse un día completo compartiendo con los amigos o la familia, sin la preocupación de que se debe hacer dinero para comprar la comida de la semana, o tener el dinero suficiente para comprar los medicamentos para el familiar enfermo? La compra de medicamentos se ha convertido en un verdadero dilema por aquí y antes no era así. Pienso que para la mayoría de las personas el aspecto material no es tan importante, pero sí necesario para mantener vivos, cerca y felices a las personas que aman, quienes le dan el verdadero sentido a la vida.

Ahora, cuando me imagino el final de mi viaje en esta vida me da gracia, porque desde niña mi papá me decía que él era eterno, así que yo crecí diciendo lo mismo, aunque en el fondo sé que no es así 😆. A lo mejor dure unos 200 años 😅. Ahora mismo, pienso que la mejor huella que podría dejar sería un hijo al cual inspire y eduque a perseguir sus sueños y no tenga miedo a ser auténtico. A veces me pongo a pensar si no sería demasiado egoísta de mi parte traer un niño a este mundo que cada día se vuelve más complejo y me da tristeza lo que él o ella pudieran pasar sin que yo pueda protegerlo o protegerla de todo. Pero me gustaría tener un niño varón que sea amoroso, compasivo y curioso y me gustaría que me viera como su mejor amiga, no como su mamá. Quiero que al crecer sea una persona que sepa escuchar a otros y tener la madurez para aprender de sus errores, que valore cada momento de su vida y que sea extremadamente saludable 😁. Para mí, este sería mi mejor legado, porque las huellas no solo son para impactar en la vida de otra persona, sino también en la nuestra ya que al criar a un ser humano con la capacidad de ser buena persona y lo fundamental con el don de amar, estamos cambiando al mundo interior y exterior. Si se ponen a pensar, las cosas hoy por hoy están como están por la falta de amor. No hay amor por la naturaleza de forma generalizada, ni por los animales, ni mucho menos por el propio ser humano. Si las personas comenzaran a amar realmente (sinceramente), las cosas cambiarían a mejor.

Así que, mientras continuamos el viaje difícil de la vida 😁 deberíamos comprometernos a vivir con la mejor de las intenciones, a crear momentos memorables y a tratar de ser una luz en la oscuridad, porque una vez leí en un artículo científico (no me acuerdo cuál) que mientras una persona tuviera un pensamiento positivo entre muchas con miles de pensamientos negativos la probabilidad de que las cosas salieran mal o hubiera un accidente era mínima, de ahí la importancia de siempre pensar positivo.

I join you in your feeling of the need for balance. We live in complicated times in which we cannot ignore the need for material things, but each generation has its challenges and like you, I think the most important thing is to stay positive and try to be the best version of ourselves, not only for our own personal growth but also for the good of others and our environment 🦋 🙏

you are right. Thank you for your words 🤗

There must be a good reason as to why you are specific on having a on and I am sure that they are all beautiful reasons. I hope you are able to leave that impact on yourself and your son that you so desire.

Thank you very much for your words. Yes, I have a good reason.

I loved your reflection on life and the footprints we leave. While material things are necessary, true meaning lies in love, relationships, and personal growth. Your desire to raise a child with kindness and compassion is a beautiful legacy. Focusing on family, friends, and well-being is inspiring, and your thoughts remind us of what truly matters. thanks for sharing , Do have a lovely week!

Hay un cliché que dice algo así como que toda persona debería al me nos hacer estas tres cosas en la vida:
Escribir un libro
Plantar un árbol
Tener un hijo

Sí, lo he oído. Antes las personas mayores lo decían mucho. Creo que cada persona debería plantar tres árboles. Gracias por tus palabras 🤗
