Maybe he can’t stand on his feet anymore and
suffering has shaped his character but this speech by Pope Francis from a few
days ago is simply AMAZING!
“You can have flaws, be anxious and even be angry,
but don’t forget that your life is the greatest business in the world. Only you
can stop it from failure. You are appreciated, admired and loved by many.
Remember that being happy is not having a sky without storms, a road without
accidents, a job without effort, relationships without disappointments.
“Being happy is to stop feeling a victim and become
the author of your own destiny. It's going through deserts, but being able to
find an oasis deep in your soul. It's to thank God every morning for the
miracle of life. It’s kissing your children, cuddling your parents, having
poetic moments with your friends, even when they hurt us.
“To be happy is to let live the creature that lives
in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It's having maturity to be able to say:
"I made mistakes". Having the courage to say "I'm sorry".
It's having a sensitivity to say "I need you". Is having the ability
to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities
for happiness... that in spring I can be a lover of joy and in winter a lover
of wisdom.
"And when you make a mistake, start over.
Because only then will you fall in love with life. You will find that being
happy doesn't mean having a perfect life. But she uses tears to irrigate
tolerance. Use your defeats to train your patience.
"Use your mistakes with the serenity of the
sculptor. Use pain to tune into pleasure. Use obstacles to open the windows of
intelligence. Never give up ... Above all, never give up on the people that
love you. Never give up on happiness, because life is an amazing show. ".
POPE FRANCIS
