Good has no market value, yet it is what keeps us alive. The small acts of kindness and generosity that we receive are priceless heart balms. The impression of not having enough money pushes us to neglect the good that does not bring immediate profitability. If we refuse to remove these blinkers, we look at the world through the prism…

Try to be better
Putting your heart and soul into it Wanting to live each moment to the fullest is difficult. However, it is possible to aspire to be the best you can be in every moment. It is not easy either, but there is a glimmer of hope. To work with your heart and focus on only one thing. This seems to be…
+It is easier to hate than to love
Love is a verb of action, which goes beyond obstacles. Hate is cowardly, it gives up and is overwhelmed by the situation. Love trusts the best in each of us. Hate looks only at the dark side and ignores the light. Love reaches out to those who need help. Hate shuts down and doesn’t see people in distress. Love takes…
+What is a successful life?
For many of us, a successful life consists in climbing the steps of Maslow’s pyramid one by one. Physical security is replaced by material security, which in turn is replaced by emotional security and so on. What to do when we get stuck on one of these steps? Are we condemned to dwell on the bitter fact that we could…
+Using hate as food for thought
Hate, like fear, dulls a person’s radiance. Life confronts us with the darkness of the heart, which is not always easy to deal with. Not being aware of this hatred that is “thrown in our face” leads us to suffer it and finally let it penetrate our soul. This is the trap to which we are often led: an external…
+What is your camouflage outfit?
To live happily, let’s live hidden, some say. This sentence is still true today. For fear of social, economic or geographical ostracisation, we are used to adopting surface behaviours and identities. These protect us from popular vindictiveness, opprobrium and ultimately marginalization. Then, when the shutters of the house are closed, when the curtains are drawn, the doors closed, we shed…
+Building your life, one habit at a time
Our life is like a house under construction. Sometimes it’s the plumbing, sometimes the foundation, sometimes the wiring and insulation. Since we are under construction and therefore unfinished, we feel like we are living in chaos. However, if we take things in a certain order, we can find a certain coherence and even harmony. We cannot be truly balanced in…
+Can we live up to our ideas?
To live coherently is to follow a set of values that take the form of habits. Self-imposed constraints are necessary to transform who we are. There is no personal progress if negligence and complacency prevail over the rigor manifested by discipline. An idea is a hard core, it needs proof to exist. It needs to be embodied in our actions.…
+God lives in our hearts, if we leave enough room for him
God is a personal experience, it is a friendship that we must nurture to keep it alive. The problem is that the distractions of everyday life prevent us from making the necessary effort to leave enough space in our hearts to hold a divine breath. The pursuit of money, fame, recognition and attention from those we are attracted to, constantly…
+What is your superhero costume?
You may not know it, but each of us has a special suit that we wear for special occasions. This suit represents your values, the ones you embody in times of peril or a fateful event. You are a superhero at times. You have a suit of armor that sits in a mental closet. You take it out from time…
