Music, Emotions, and Spirit
Can music influence our behavior? In reality, it’s not that music directly influences us; rather, depending on the person, it can make us connect certain songs with pain, memories, or past experiences. For example, there are songs about love or heartbreak, and many of us can relate to them in one way or another. But […]
The Walk-through Gethsemane
Why did Jesus have to go through Gethsemane? One thing is certain when we walk in the footsteps of Jesus or live the Christian faith: we are not here to do our own will, but the will of God. One of the greatest examples of this was when the Lord Jesus overcame His own will […]
Get Up and Move Forward
Do we still identify ourselves with the mistakes of our past? We are now at a moment when the year is ending, the holidays are approaching, and the cycle begins again. Many people want to start fresh—start something new—but along the way, they give up. They become insecure and think nothing will change, simply because […]
The Highest Form
What is the highest form of proving that someone truly believes in something? No matter how you look at it, we all believe in something. We believe in our abilities, in our career, in our studies—there is always something in which we place our trust, something that allows our inner conviction to be expressed outwardly. […]
Lifting the Cup
Why are there people who dream of achieving something—yet never reach it? There are people who wake up every day determined to accomplish a goal. In fact, they’ve calculated everything and are certain that this goal will lead them to something great. But even with all their effort, nothing happens. They keep trying over and […]
Radical Change
Is it really possible for someone to change radically? In one way or another, we are all born with habits we inherit—things we observed while growing up and eventually accepted as normal. For example, our character is often shaped because we react the same way our parents or people we admired reacted. But just because […]
The Pilgrims
Are we suffering for what truly matters? Every day we are faced with proposals—career opportunities, new jobs, relationships, studies… proposals come in many forms. When we say yes to certain proposals, we start making sacrifices to sustain them. We give our time, attention, and effort—simply for something that seems important at the moment. Sometimes we […]
What We Keep Inside
What are we keeping in our hearts? At some point in life, we all go through hard moments. Maybe we lost someone, we were betrayed, or we felt unfairly treated. When we face moments like these, we often cry out: “Why me?” “Why do things only happen to me?” “Why do I feel so alone?” […]
Results and Fruits
Have we truly realized that there is a big difference between results and fruits? When we think of something producing a result, we’re talking about something singular or isolated. For example, if someone wants to save money and follows a method to reach that goal—that’s a single, individual achievement. But when we talk about fruits, […]
Between Plans and Promises
What’s the difference between having a plan and having something promised? Usually, we all have some idea of what we want to do in life—plans that, in our own minds, already seem determined and that we hope to see fulfilled. For example, some people plan to have a big family, pursue a certain career, buy […]
