Where is the true starting point, that zero kilometer that makes you walk where you want but, above all, walking how you want. Transformed by inertia into reactive beings, constantly attacking as if everything around us were a threat that doesn't let us be in this place where we are okay, where everything seems to make sense and we feel alive and connected, at the right distance that allows us to see the world. Many trains pass in life, and it seems there are people with their hands out trying to entice you to be part of journeys you didn't plan, human tides that, after leaving them, you realize they had little to do with you.
We are victims of our own decisions. Decisions? We no longer make decisions, we no longer see the pros and cons, we no longer analyze or look inward because we have truly lost our way to ourselves, overstimulated in a world that seeks the here and now without recognizing us in our actions, lost and wasting our time.
Looking for culprits as victims, inactive, abandoning our responsibility to be able to do things, to activate change, and to promote the good in everything we do, critics without self-criticism, and if there is any... never to promote the movement toward personal growth. The world is frozen, disoriented, lurching without judgment, without opinion, without voice, drowned.
And what does this mean for our children? It couldn't be worse than a father or mother reflecting all this dull light, this lack of energy, no energy, no hope, no joy...
Life urges you not to block yourselves, to get out of your imposed outfits, to put aside what weighs you down and holds you back. You won't be traveling by train, but walking makes things appear slower, closer, clearer, and if not, at least we have the option of stopping and looking at them. Take advantage of the good and let go of what doesn't make you great, what doesn't make you smile, what doesn't accompany you but rather detracts from your way of life. Define yourself, redesign yourself, and recover the "I can"… recover it for and by yourself, but also for your children, who are surrounded by a world of "You can'ts"… and then we look at them in surprise, wondering where their imagination, creativity, spontaneity have gone… or perhaps you still have some remnant of them.
Get off the couch, get on the floor, look at them carefully, and be the best example for them, because time is something that will never return, and any small change brings you closer to gaining a little more of that time that remains and isn't marked on a clock. Be free to be you, because you are perfect and hold within you the greatest gift, your kilometer zero, the one you lost for a time and that, by searching for it, will put you back at the beginning of the path.
