You can be flawed

Maybe you can’t stand anymore and suffering has shaped its character but this speech by Pope Francis a few days ago is simply STUNNING!

“You can be flawed, be anxious, and even be angry, but don’t forget that your life is the biggest accomplishment in the world. Only you can stop it from failing. 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 struggle, relationships without disappointments.

“Being happy means to stop feeling like a victim and become the author of your own destiny. It is to cross deserts, but to be able to find an oasis deep in your soul. Is thanking God every morning for the miracle of life. It's kissing your children, cuddling your parents, living poetic moments with 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. Being mature is to be able to say, "I made mistakes." Having the courage to say "I'm sorry". It's having the sensitivity to say "I need you". Having the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... that in spring may be a lover of joy and in winter a lover of wisdom.

"And when you make a mistake, start again. Because only then will you be in love with life. You'll discover that being happy isn't about having a perfect life. But uses tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your defeats to train your patience.

"Use your mistakes with the serenity of the sculptor. Use pain to soak up pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up ... Above all, never give up on the people who love you. Never give up on happiness, because life is an incredible show."

Pope Francis
