A la mujer que siente que está en su punto de ruptura

¿Alguna vez ha sentido que no podía más, por mucho que se esforzara en seguir adelante?

Like you’ve reached the end of your strength? As if you can’t continue fighting as much as you want to?

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed and exhausted that you can’t get out of bed? So tired and drained that you would just like to spend the rest of your life crying your soul out?

Have you ever felt that you’ve lost all purpose? That there is nothing you could possibly do to make things in your life better and for you to start feeling like your old self?

If you have, let me tell you that you are not the only one. None of this makes you weak, and it definitely doesn’t make you a lost cause.

Let me tell you that we’ve all had days in our lives on which we’ve felt as if we’ve lost all our hope.

Days on which we’ve felt like we are about to fall without the chance of ever rising again.

Days on which we’ve felt like we’ve reached our breaking point without the chance of ever putting ourselves back together.

Pero aquí estamos, más fuerte que todo lo que nos hundía . Aquí estamos, firmes sobre nuestros pies, más poderosas y poderosas que nunca.

Y tú no eres una excepción. Así es exactamente como te sientes ahora mismo.

And you will survive all of this as well, even though you don’t think this way now.

Por eso estoy aquí para decirte que todas estas emociones son temporales. Estoy aquí para decirte que hagas todo lo posible por verlo todo desde una perspectiva más brillante y que recuerdes siempre que mañana será un nuevo día.

Por eso estoy aquí para decirte que nunca olvides que todo sucede por una razón. Que hay veces en que Dios te rompe sólo para poder arreglarte.

That there are some painful moments in your life which will turn out to be your most valuable lessons. That one day, you’ll be grateful for everything you are going through right now.

I don’t know what exactly bothers you. Maybe you are going through some family problems or maybe your relationship has reached its end.

Maybe you haven’t accomplished as much as you hoped you would or a person close to you betrayed and abandoned you when you needed them the most.

O tal vez esté atravesando una mala racha sin ningún motivo en particular.

But at the end of the day, the cause of your misery isn’t really relevant. What is important is your reaction to it.

What is important is this all-consuming feeling you have which is putting pressure on your chest and which can’t seem to go away.

Y lo que es aún más importante es que sepas cómo fuerte eres . You’ve made it through much worse situations, and you will survive this one, as well.

Please, don’t lose your hope and your faith that things will find the best way of sorting themselves out. Don’t ever allow yourself to stop being positive and optimistic.

Instead of focusing on the things that aren’t functioning the best at this moment, focus on those parts of your life you are doing great in.

Focus on the things you’ve accomplished, on the scars you’ve healed, and on the heartbreaks you’ve managed to survive.

Porque eso es lo único que cuenta. Don’t think about the number of times you’ve fallen.

Think about all the times you’ve managed to resurgir de las cenizas.

Don’t think about your vulnerabilities and weaknesses because they don’t define you and never will. Think of your strength and power, and how they will show you the way out of this misery you are feeling right now.

En lugar de menospreciarte y ser tan duro contigo mismo, date un respiro. Siéntete orgulloso de haber conseguido tanto y nunca pierdas la fe en tu capacidad para lograr aún más.

En lugar de rendirte, sigue luchando. Sigue intentándolo y sigue luchando. Porque esa es la única forma de alcanzar todo tu potencial y salir victorioso.

Y lo más importante, en lugar de machacarte y culparte por todo lo malo que te pasa en la vida, empieza a quererte un poco más .

Empieza a apreciar y respetar tus propios esfuerzos, y todos los demás te seguirán.
