I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

by Eduardo Blanco

December 1998

That's it!, I was searching inside, looking for the best definition of what I think and believe, but the phrase " I believe I can fly" says it all. We all have the power to do what ever we want, but the only rule in this game is that you really have to want it and believe that you can have it. And you will. God, the Cosmos, the Universe or whatever name you want to give to the power which switches on everything in this time life, is evident. Like most people in the hispanic world I was educated under Christianity, now I JUST BELIEVE IN GOD under no religion.I believe that everyone chooses his own parents at the begining of his life, the parents and the kind of life, that will help us to grow spiritualy and personally. Therefore, everything that happened in our lives was supposed to be there and happen. We only have to understand it, to accepte it, and try very hard to know why it happened. What do we have to learn from that experience, good or bad does not matter, it has a hidden lesson to be learnt.

Discover what is the purpose of this life, why are we here, what do we have to do, to feel that ecstasy of being alive. Well a lot of people have that question in mind, even I sometimes ask again, "why" or " what for" and sometimes there is no answer to those questions. Maybe that is what I have to learn from it, that there is not an answer to every question.There are always going to be questions, sometimes with answers, sometimes not, but we have to keep looking, searching, asking; and some day all our doubts will disappear and we will begin to see the light. Sometimes I have seen people who are in search of answers, get confused, and after sometime, have more questions than when they started. That's no reason to stop searching, maybe its just not the way for them. We have to keep looking, keep failing, that will give us the strength to keep going.

There is another tip that I have learned. When you do not feel that emotion of been alive, if what you are doing does not fullfill your needs, CHANGE!! do not think about it; follow your intuition, ask yourself, not everyone around you. YOU and only you have the answers to all your questions. WE ARE PERFECT; because we are God, God is inside of us, we are here to learn, then one does not have to fell guilty because one fails, or one wants to change when everybody else is telling you that you can't.

Life is like a theater, a few actors and a lot of spectators. That means that if you start doing what you believe and want, there is always someone who is going to tell you that you are wrong, people will criticise you. Just keep going, that will stop. When you pay no attention to those people, they will stop talking, because normally, they do not have a life of their own and try to live another's.If you believe, you will fly; BELIEVE... I do!Love everybody, everything, bad, good, ugly, beautiful, everything... I do!Respect. We all have different ways to see life, don't try to make your way, the way for everyone.Be grateful, because, we are here and this is the best day of our lives.

I Believe I can Fly!
