A veces, hay que caer antes de volar

Cuando sueñas con tu vida perfecta, siempre esperas ser feliz. Que las cosas siempre irán como tú quieres.

Sueñas con conseguir todo lo que te propongas cuándo y cómo quieras. Deseas alcanzar todas tus metas futuras sin muchos problemas.

Tener siempre a tu lado a la gente que quieres y a la gente que te quiere. Sueñas con tener una carrera de éxito y una relación sana y amorosa.

Y no hay nada malo en ello. Al fin y al cabo, todos queremos sé feliz y todos queremos tener lo que deseamos.

But usually, life has its own plans which are sometimes different from ours. Usually, we don’t get everything we want whenever or however we want.

Sometimes, you do your best but you simply don’t succeed as much as you want to.

Cuidas tu salud pero, de algún modo, acabas enfermo.

You spend weeks or even months studying for that important exam but you don’t pass it.

Haces lo que te piden y te dejas la piel en el trabajo, pero otro consigue ese ascenso que tanto deseabas.

Sometimes, you give yourself completely to a relationship but it doesn’t succeed.

Amas a alguien con todo tu corazón y haces numerosos sacrificios por él, pero esa persona decide no apreciarlo y se aleja de ti.

A veces sientes que lo mejor de ti no es suficiente.

Y te enfadas. Enfadado contigo mismo, con la gente que consiguió lo que quería sin esforzarse lo más mínimo. Y te enfadas con el destino.

Pero obviamente olvidas que todo ocurre por una razón y por una causa mayor. Incluso cuando consigues tu corazón roto, todo pasa por algo .

Olvidas que hay algo bueno en cada cosa mala que te ocurre.

You forget that you are destined to fail in something for a reason—of getting something bigger.

If you hadn’t been ill, you wouldn’t know how to cherish the health you have now.

You wouldn’t enjoy every breath you take and you wouldn’t get the best out of every new day, like you are doing now.

Whoever walked out of your life obviously didn’t deserve a place in your future. And even though you may not know it now, many people saved you by leaving you.

Siempre que pierdes algo que parecía importante para ti en ese momento, el destino acaba de despejarte el camino para ganar algo mayor.

Porque la verdad es que a veces hay que caer antes de volar.

Because this is the only way for you to appreciate everything good that life gives you. It’s the only way for you to work on yourself and for you to be thankful for everyone and everything you get.

When you finally get an even better job, you’ll be thankful for not getting that promotion you wanted so much.

You’ll be thankful for staying in the position you hated so much because it brought you a lot of experience and it helped you meet the right people who saw your potential.

When you finally meet the right guy, you’ll be thankful for all those wrong men who were a part of your life in the past.

You’ll be thankful for those men cheating on you and treating you like you weren’t good enough. You’ll even be thankful for them not loving you enough.

Because if it wasn’t for them, you would never know what love is not. You would never know what it is that you don’t want and you would never know who to stay away from.

Y lo más importante, nunca sabrías cuánto tienes que apreciar a este hombre sólo porque es diferente.

If you hadn’t been through all the pain in your life, you wouldn’t know how strong you actually are.

You would never know how much you can actually take and you wouldn’t know that you are stronger than everything that’s bringing you down.

Así que en vez de enfadarte y en vez de pensar en lo infeliz que eres por fracasar en algunas cosas, míralas como bendiciones.

Be thankful every time you don’t succeed because whenever that happens, know that you are about to fly. And know that it happened for your own good.
