A vida fica muito silenciosa antes de todas as portas se abrirem

“Life gets very quiet before all the doors open.” – J. Lynn

Todos nós lutamos na vida.

We all have nights when we think we won’t get through it. Sometimes we’re numb, sometimes we’re too emotional.

The pain is different for everyone and sometimes it’s nothing less than soul-crushing.

But you know what? The struggle is essential. We can’t skip levels in life.

Até há pouco tempo, vivia a minha vida numa luta constante. Ainda o faço, mas a diferença é que agora também vejo o outro lado da questão.

Tive lutas que me fizeram sentir inútil porque me sentia fraca e não adaptada a este mundo.

I blamed myself for not being enough and I refrained from speaking my truth until I realized that that’s the only way you gain respect for yourself and see your self-worth.

That’s the polarity of this life. It teaches us to keep finding good things even in the darkest times and it always ends up that way.

Cada desilusão ensinou-nos alguma coisa. Cada fracasso transformou a nossa vida.

There are beautiful things hidden in the darkest times. Conversations always get deeper and it’s easier to grasp that elusive part of our soul we so often forget about.

I learned to love the pain because it tells me I’m alive. It tells me I have something I live for. It tells me I am strong enough.

You’re given the pain you can handle; that’s why you should never think about giving up.

Por vezes, a dor está em deixar ir and sometimes it’s staying where you are and making it better. It’s the same with love.

Love is another great teacher that works closely with pain. There’s a reason for that; both of them push us to dive deep into ourself and show our spirit.

Don’t give up. You have a purpose in this life and the world needs to see it.

Don’t strip yourself of the opportunity to make your life the best it can be. With or without struggle, a vida vale a pena ser vivida e isto vem de alguém que pensou o contrário durante demasiado tempo.

A vida torna-se muito calma antes de todas as portas se abrirem.

It gets quiet because we finally learn to accept things as they are. We’re emptied of expectations and everything that clouds our vision.

That’s when the magic starts happening.

The doors open when you’re ready, not when you think you should go. That’s why we shouldn’t despise the struggle and pain but welcome it.

It makes us ready for good things. It shows us how strong we really are. It’s enough to have a little faith. It goes a long way.

When you feel down, think about the fact that you survived everything you’ve gone through.

Pensa em todas as coisas que nunca experimentaste e em todos os bons momentos que a vida te reserva.

There are so many places you haven’t visited, things you have never done and people you have never met.

A vida é feita de pequenos momentos e esses pequenos momentos podem fazer grandes mudanças. Nunca subestime o pequeno.

They always tell us only about the big things, when in reality it’s the small things that change the course of everything.

Do that extra thing in life, share that something you don’t feel like is worth sharing, step outside yourself and watch your life change for good.

Prometo-vos que as coisas vão mudar, as portas vão abrir-se.

Continuem mesmo que se sintam bloqueados, mesmo que se sintam sem esperança; continuem a avançar.

Don’t mistake struggle or pain for failure; it’s just your soul reassembling and making a stronger structure.

You deserve the good that is coming to you, don’t let it wait.
