The Language of the Heart

The greatest disappointments we will have in life will be with close people, especially when we place the hope of receiving in return what we think we deserve.

Everyone has the ability to surprise, sometimes positively and often disappointingly. It is up to us to realize that, except for those who refuse to share anything at all, each person shows themselves to the exact extent of what they have inside, nothing more than that. So let it be you who gives with dedication and truth.

Give smiles. We don’t realize how good it feels to be hit by a sincere smile, a face with a pronounced lightness at the corner of the lips. It’s contagious, because rarely do we not respond with gratitude to those who smile at us. When we smile, we are extending understanding to people, as if we were telling them that everything will be fine, that the pain they feel will pass, that they need to keep going. This dispenses with any words.

Give hugs. As the song tells us, it’s the best place in the world, a place where we accommodate our sorrows and soften the burdens of our soul. It doesn’t have to be long, but intense and filled with good intentions, to envelop us with positive energy. A sincere hug is fuel for love, joy, motivation, and it reaffirms to us, with authority, that there is still hope that the best is yet to come and will find us.

Give time. Even if it’s just for minutes, one of the best gifts we can receive from others is to realize that they are there, at that moment, fully focused on us, ready to share the joy and pain that fills us. Having someone who listens to us and welcomes us into their life, who responds to our calls, will make all the difference in the moments when we are emotionally shattered and devastated.

Give kindness. Wherever you go, be kind to everyone, without affectation or exaggeration, but be the most human version of yourself. It is necessary to externalize the best within us, so that our light becomes stronger, driving away others’ ghosts and personal darkness. There are people who are suffering, going through immeasurable problems, and a gesture of kindness could save them from much of their desolation. Often, a compassionate look is more beneficial than coins thrown through the car window.

Give knowledge. Knowledge multiplies when shared, as it is enhanced by what each person who receives it possesses. Possessing knowledge does not make anyone better than others, does not guarantee that the person will continue to be a boss or a leader, does not mean that the individual is more capable than others. The more we share what we know, the more people will have the chance to achieve their dreams.

Give love. Love heals, saves, harmonizes, liberates, and spreads beyond possible spaces, not containing itself, such is its strength. The world needs more tolerance, more patience, more education, and all of this is made up of loving essence. It is not possible to like everyone, but truly loving those who walk with us will be one of the greatest favors we can do for our loved ones and ourselves.

It is difficult to dedicate ourselves with dedication and persistence, given the excessive workload and tasks that fill almost all of our daily responsibilities. However, if we are willing to look outside ourselves, we will be contributing to walking together, to the sense of collectivity that should permeate any search for happiness in this life.

After all, let us remember that life rewards us generously for all the good we do.
