Elogio a la adversidad

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.119
Bomba, why the affective relationships I
have are not stable. I like assertiveness,

2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:13.960
because it invites us to prudence that
what should motivate our word is always

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:20.800
love you are and that is already
the basis to go out to conquer many

4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:27.160
goals, to fight, to give
a better version and enjoy life fully.

5
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:40.840
You know, today I' d
like to praise adversity. And I want

6
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.119
to do this because I would love
for every one of you who listens to

7
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.960
me at this time to change your
attitude to this situation, to this reality.

8
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:03.079
We all live in the midst of
adversity. We don' t need

9
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:12.120
to go out and consciously look for
problems, difficulties it, adversity emerges in

10
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:19.840
our daily lives. We constantly find
it unintentionally We could say that one of

11
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:26.560
the characteristics of the human being is
to live in the midst of problems,

12
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:33.280
in the midst of difficulties, in
the midst of adversities. And he said

13
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:42.799
this because I think our anthropological condition
demands it. We are incarnate spirits and

14
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:51.200
that makes there are desires, but
there are also limitations. This implies a

15
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:59.480
freedom in the imagination that is not
reciprocated in materiality, where there are always

16
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.560
some points that we cannot realize.
But on top of that, we are

17
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:15.039
fragile beings and being fragile, we
are faced with pain, suffering. Yes,

18
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:23.159
it hurts us, it hurts us
constantly and that is an adversity,

19
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:29.240
but also because of our limitations.
We don' t have all the resources,

20
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:38.120
we don' t have all the
capabilities, we are constantly facing frustration,

21
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.360
we feel that we deserved more,
we feel that we should achieve more,

22
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:53.879
but that it wasn' t and
we have to understand that our contingency

23
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.479
leads us not to achieve everything we
want, not to be able to have

24
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:05.080
everything we want. In these I
have been thinking of so many people who

25
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:14.360
have stories of overcoming, people who
are successful today, some of them athletes,

26
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:23.439
other artists, other political leaders,
who went through harsh adversities, in

27
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.439
their childhood, in their family relationships, in being unable to have opportunities,

28
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:39.599
but who were able to overcome them, who were able to overcome them and

29
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.800
who managed to be successful men and
women. I believe that we must be

30
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:54.199
clear that when diversity is confronted with
correct attitudes, it becomes a springboard,

31
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:03.479
that when diversity is confronted with the
right work it fosters the development of the

32
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:11.800
skills necessary to achieve the fullness in
any of the life processes we are living.

33
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.279
I know that adversity has a bad
reputation, not only because of the

34
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:26.240
pain it causes, not only because
it makes us feel incapable, not only

35
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:33.160
because it corners us sometimes, but
also because an idealized account of comfort has

36
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:40.519
been made. And that idealized account
of comfort has made that difficulties, that

37
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.120
adversities, that problems have been despised, have been looked at with a leave

38
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.560
of are a disgrace, of are
the worst and the truth is not at

39
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.240
all like this, of course it
hurts and of course that makes us cry,

40
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.839
of course it is complicated. But
there are opportunities there too. So

41
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:08.879
well there are situations that can make
us grow integrally. Therefore, at this

42
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:15.560
moment I would like to propose three
attitudes to you to face adversities, from

43
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:23.879
the smallest to the most complex,
from the simplest to the greatest. Three

44
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.120
attitudes that, I believe, can
help us live in continuous growth. The

45
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:40.199
first attitude is to accept that life
is full of adversities and that we can

46
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.680
only begin the process of overcoming them
if we assume them as they are.

47
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.639
What I' m saying is don' t excuse yourself from diversity, don

48
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.279
' t deny diversity, don'
t tell yourself lies about problems look at

49
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.720
them, just like they are.
To do this it is necessary to describe

50
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.680
them, For them, it is
necessary to understand and accept them. Because

51
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.959
not because you dream that they don' t exist ceases to exist, they

52
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.439
are there and if you want them
to really become an opportunity for growth.

53
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:31.800
You need to accept it as it
is and that implies description, that implies

54
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:40.040
understanding. Listen live the reality,
as it is do not fool yourself,

55
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.240
do not lie, do not fall
into those speeches, that all they do

56
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:54.680
is alienate us and, in that
way, not prepare us to overcome the

57
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:02.959
problems and adversities that we have.
The second attitude is to understand them as

58
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:10.879
an opportunity. Yes, to understand
them as an opportunity and not simply as

59
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.639
a disgrace. Here we have to
make a change of mind, a change

60
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.560
of thought, a change of paradigm
of life. We can' t go

61
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.519
on in the simplicity that there are
good things and there are bad things.

62
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:29.680
Not in the good. There are
also situations that can lead you to suffer

63
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:35.279
and in the bad that we call
bad. There are also possibilities of joy,

64
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:43.480
pleasure, growth. So we need
a more complex look at reality and

65
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:49.759
we need to find life lessons in
that problem, in that growth problem.

66
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:59.399
They say it constantly today when we
leave the comfort zone Thanks to the diversities,

67
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:05.079
we are growing, we are moving
forward. I remember a teacher who

68
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:11.720
told me Alberto, if you'
re in a rubber ball, the only

69
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:18.000
chance to move forward is to get
out of the center and go to one

70
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.959
of the extremes so you can move. Then we need you to change your

71
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.879
gaze in the face of diversity.
Don' t complain, so much don

72
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:33.000
' t cry, so much analise
understand it and try to propose ways of

73
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.240
solution, ways to get ahead.
The third attitude. Obviously, you have

74
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.480
to have a plan, because adversity
is not going to be a magical opportunity.

75
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.360
You have to come up with a
plan. You have to understand how

76
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.799
you' re gonna get over it, how you' re gonna get through

77
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.480
it. And for this it is
fundamental to face the first cause of diversity,

78
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.399
because many of us try to solve
problems from secondary waves, and the

79
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.679
only thing that we achieve is that
the problem either reproduces or transforms. Then

80
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.960
it' s important to make a
plan. You understand what this is about,

81
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.840
you' ve already accepted that reality, because make a plan, make

82
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.519
a plan that must be accompanied by
training, that is, actions. I

83
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.879
' m going to work on this
and do it with discipline and do it

84
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.639
with strength and do it with intelligence
so that it' s really what you

85
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.960
' re looking for. Don'
t forget. No one has triumphed permanently

86
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.039
without overcoming the difficulties. That is
why it is not understood that it is

87
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:50.480
believed that only comfort is necessary.
Being happy and living in well- being

88
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.039
means being able to overcome all the
barriers that life creates for us. That

89
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.080
' s why today I want you
to have that attitude that allows you to

90
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.240
overcome. In fact, for me
it is a spiritual attitude, because it

91
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:22.799
is the attitude of transcendent you know
bo
