I have three news for you, one bad, one good and the other depends, it is relative. The bad news is that there isn't what they call " your place in the universe." It does not exist. The good news is that this place can be created for you by someone. The third news is that it is up to you. You are the only person responsible for the universe you build, for the place you occupy in the universe, you are the owner and lord, God and master of all the projects and plans that will lead you to be the one you will be, whatever version of that you will.You'll have to learn to accept the bad news, to bless the good one and to assume the third one. The first one forsakes you of the preconceived ideas that have you where you are, the second gives you the hope of, someday, being in that place. The third challenge you in the responsibility of building it. I can't be clearer about the secret of your happiness.Destiny does not exist. Belief is not suspicion; it is a prophecy.The image of what you are destined to hunt perfectly with what you think you will be. The call to be us crashes head-on with the fear of assuming it. We are terrified of being ourselves, assuming ourselves, looking into each other's eyes and telling ourselves "you failed me. You said you were going to be a singer and you failed me, you said you were going to study that career and you failed me, you said, you promised me, you promised yourself that you would be the God of the universe and you didn't fulfill it. You failed."Then, in the middle of that challenging scene with ourselves comes a song, a memory, a voice that pushes us, a secret code, a cry of a furious and desperate animal, an enraged lion that promises never to fail again. Remember the verses of an epic, the scene of a film, the third line of a stanza, the crossing of two unrelated realities that engenders the courage that encourages us to step forward, look into each other's eyes and respond: we don't fail, we will do it now. You don't scare me, and you don't tell me that I failed you, because here I am, willing to take the plunge, willing to be the reality you will be and not the dream you are.We are a small grain of nothing armed with three poems with which we intend to kill an enraged elk that is called fear. That fear is us, braver, more courageous, our self of the future.Is that destiny, neither more nor less. It is that moment, that encounter, that wielding a weapon of poetry and that determination to destroy the viscera of an enraged moose to what we should call destiny.Every day is a blank space, a gap, a gap between two unmodifiable blocks: yesterday, which has passed, and tomorrow, which has not yet arrived. Every day of your life you have the absolute responsibility to get up with the constant determination to fill that gap, whether you like it or not, whether you like it or not.Embrace that privilege. Do not give others the responsibility for your life, do not take a minute of your existence to put out the power to transform yourself.The Book that everyone must start the year with.The book that will change your lifeIt is not a Book; it is Gold in letters
