Nowadays it is not common to print pictures, nor laminate them. My daughter since she was little, she liked making nice portraits. One day when she was six or maybe seven years old, she was laminating some pictures when suddenly the machine started deforming the laminated pictures and then it stopped. It didn’t work out.

I looked at her and when I was about to say : “I’m sorry it’s broken and you won’t be able to finish your portraits” she stood up and went to get a driver from the tool box.

I was a little surprised and instead asked: “What are you doing? “

She said: “I’m going to open it and fix it. My grandfather always opens the machines, cleans them and fixes them.”

I didn’t even try stopping her because she was fast doing her job.

She smiled and said : “You see? This wire is out of place. So easy to fix”.

She put everything back in it’s place, closed the machine and continued doing her job.

I have to recognize that my father in law left us a good legacy with the way he could fix anything in a shirt time.

Once a friend told me: “Why nothing happens to you?” I wanted to laugh when I realize how people think we have a very simple life.

I told her : “Actually, many things happen. The difference is that I notice, get the message and immediately take action.”

it is like if you see a pipe liking. You can

1- just look at it thinking how much you are going to have to pay for next bill but doing nothing or

2- stopping the water, getting the necessary tools to fix it or look for advice.

Some people think that people like me don’t do anything, or nothing happens to us, but actually I think we have to experience many things in order to understand human nature without judging.

So some times we are up in emotions, sometimes down. Lol

Now that I say ups and downs, there’s something important I learnt recently and I wanted to share since then.

If you are not sure your partner is the correct one for you, remember how you were feeling when you met that person.

Were you feeling like you were the king of the Earth? Or the most miserable person. If you met your partner when you were in highesteem, probably he/she is the right person. If you met when you were feeling very lost or with a low esteem, it is almost for sure not the most adequate one.In México we have an expression that is very true (nunca falta un roto para un descosido)..

Because we can only meet people who have our same level of conscience. Nothing to do with material wealth, this is about soul and real feelings and mind.

I was recently told by a very well-known master:

“when you loose a job and you are feeling bad, you should not go and get the first one offered to you, nor get married; because you will get something that is not the real level you deserve. It is better to take a break, realign, feel strong enough, and it is then when the good job, the good partner will appear. Because someone or something that is good for you cannot come down the ladder to get you; you have climb up to meet what you really deserve. We understand then why when someone leaves your life, you should just let him/her go, since for sure they didn’t belong to your level of conscience.”

It is difficult to manage, so I recommend that when you feel lost or too sad, just pray for wisdom. The wisdom that will help you find your way again.

Best wishes to you all and a big hug.
