Your moment is now, the present one. Carpe Diem

Dear friend, at this moment I have a lot of time to reflect and think. I am locked in the house because of the global virus in this period of March 2020. It is late at night, I listened to music, I reflected. Now my friend I want to tell you something that no one can tell you or a few people who like me quickly and disastrously changed their existence.

Those people who like me have gone from stables to stars. Those people who have lived very different moments in life as if they were different lives but in reality it is a single life made of changes, changes.

Was I the architect of these changes? Did I pilot my existence? No, friend. We have a strong invisible hand, we have a superior force that weaves, creates, directs our entire existence. We have a God who also sends us the way forward when he sends us to this earth.

Why am I telling you all this? For a simple reason that must never escape your mind. Live the present, carpe diem, seize your fleeting moment.

I make you my little confidence which is actually a testimony to make you understand what I tell you. When I was worse I looked for the good. Now that I'm fine, I think of the past and regret something. A hundred people are looking for me and I think of when I lived with a few. But when I was with a few I looked for many.

Maybe it is I who am not satisfied? Or am I constantly complaining? My friend, my attitude is normal, it is a human attitude, but we must be good at understanding that the moment we live is what God puts before us and we must live it.

The same current moment that seems the worst for mankind we are called to live it as a sign of God. In fact if I was not forced to stay at home I had not reflected on this and many reflections and decisions of people today had not happened if we were not experiencing the moment of today.

Our life are like many united points that we currently cannot give an explanation but with time if we look back we realize that everything has a meaning, everything is structured, everything is united, even those things that we define as evil.

Now at the end of this day I can leave you one of the most important teachings I have received in my life. I can tell you my dear accept life in the present. It is God who gives you this, it is God who is making you take the path you need, your experience. Never say "why this", I can only tell you that at the present moment you cannot answer, while in a few years you certainly will. In my life I see the hand of God in everything.

I'm not here to list every single thing but I can tell you that nothing happened by chance. Now things are happening and I can't tell you why but I am sure that in a few years we would have everything clear.

My friend, be peaceful. Live your moment, live the present. And even if sometimes the mouthful to be thrown down is bitter do not fear sometimes we need these things to understand that our life is a colorful canvas where the embroiderer is the creator of life itself, God the Father.
