Today, while I was doing social work painting the soccer field goal posts, I found out that she had died, and it was good news.
I'll explain why below:
Today we are and tomorrow we don't know, so we have to live as if today is our last day.
For that, I am grateful for having each of you in my mind and heart, for appreciating you and receiving appreciation in return, for loving you and receiving your love.
Thank you for so much.
Now you may wonder, how does my 12 year old daughter do it?
Arnold, why are you talking as if you were saying goodbye?
I speak this way because we are not used to speaking in these terms, because we have not been trained to embrace death as part of life.
That's why it feels strange when someone speaks or writes like this, because we believe that life is eternal.
I come from giving emotional support to three of my soccer players (for all of them I am like a kind of father on the field).
I found out today that their mother died. I didn't think twice to go to their house after finishing the social work.
The lady leaves 3 more children and six months ago she had lost her youngest daughter.
In other words, my little playmates, only 12, 14 and 18 years old, have lost their mother and sister in less than six months!
Now, I read about the famous Venezuelan marketer who had a heart attack at such a young age.
And I reflect:
Ironically, I deduce that there is something good in witnessing or learning about and processing someone's death, because every death is an impact on our mind, body and spirit.
And it makes sense because a part of us is gone. A part of the whole is gone. And that "aligns our chakras," as they jokingly say out there.
It's also the reminder of how ephemeral we are.
At the same time, it is the opportunity to give thanks, while giving condolences or touching the shoulder of the bereaved, for a new day, a new friend, a new child, a new job, a new client, or a new smile.
It is also the opportunity to thank for a touch of inspiration to write this post so deep, personal and full of reflection, because not everything is to write about digital marketing or Bitcoin, my niches.
It is also worth giving free rein to what comes out of you. ❤️
Finally, that's the game of life. The sun must set for the moon to appear. Some must die so that others may be born.
Now, go to your window, visualize the sky in the middle of the afternoon or night, and give thanks for being alive (a) at this moment.
Hugs for all.
