If you're listening to this,
It is because something inside you feels like it cannot go on anymore.
Maybe you have had a difficult day,
A difficult week,
A difficult month,
Year,
Several difficult years or even a difficult life.
Maybe you have asked yourself,
Why keep going?
While you continue fighting.
Why get up every morning?
Maybe you feel like nothing makes sense anymore.
I don't know your story.
And perhaps I never will.
But there is something I know with certainty.
Your existence is not a coincidence.
I want you to close your eyes and dedicate this next few minutes to yourself.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
And exhale through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale through your nose.
And feel the air entering your body.
And now exhale through your mouth.
And one more time,
Inhale as deeply as you can.
Hold it for 4 seconds.
And now exhale slowly.
Letting go of everything that feels heavy inside you.
Great.
Relax.
And now breathe at your own pace.
For you to be here,
The probability is almost no existent.
And let me explain why.
A woman is born with approximately 1 to 2 million eggs.
And throughout her fertile life,
She ovulates between 300 and 500 eggs.
A man in each ejaculation releases hundreds of millions of sperm cells.
Now,
Out of those possible eggs and all those millions of sperm cells,
One single egg and one single sperm resulted in your existence.
Your existence,
Not someone else's.
Yours.
For that encounter between your father and your mother to happen.
Imagine everything your ancestors had to go through.
For that moment to become possible.
They had to survive thousands of challenges,
Wars,
Hunger,
Illnesses,
Accidents,
Dangers.
Circumstances and entire lifetimes had to align.
So that generation after generation could eventually leads to you.
Do you still believe that your existence is just a coincidence?
In other words,
You are a miracle.
Maybe part of you feels that this cannot be true because of everything you have gone through,
Because of all the pain you have felt,
Or perhaps still feel today.
Maybe you doubt the miracle that you are because your story or your circumstances have made you believe otherwise.
That is why I'm here,
To remind you.
In case no one has ever told you,
You are unique.
There is no one else like you.
You are a soul that came to live this experience called life.
A soul with its own gifts and talents.
A soul that makes its own decisions.
A soul capable of feeling love,
Joy,
Sadness,
Anger,
Pleasure,
Or fear.
A soul with awareness and consciousness.
A soul with the ability to reinvent itself as many times as necessary.
Think about this.
Despite how difficult life has been,
You're still here.
And with all your inner wisdom You have continued moving forward.
And that has made you wiser,
More resilient,
More resourceful,
Emotionally stronger,
More decisive,
More empathetic,
More reflective and kinder.
Even if your pain makes you feel that perhaps it would have been better not to exist.
I believe that deep inside,
You know that it's not true.
Because you would have missed the feeling of sand beneath your feet.
The rain touching your face.
Warming your hands by a fire.
Hugging someone you love.
Feeling your first kiss.
Bringing life into the world.
Being a safe place for someone.
Being greeted by your pet after a long day.
Eating your favorite meal.
Hugging a tree and feeling its peace.
Dancing until you cannot dance anymore.
Singing in the shower.
Reuniting with someone you love.
Diving into the water on a very hot day.
Feeling the sun on your skin laughing until you cry.
Travelling around the world.
Playing your favorite song.
Feeling nostalgia for a beautiful memory.
You would have missed all of this and so much more if you have never existed.
And I am sure that you are already a gift.
To many of the people who know you and are fortunate enough to have you in their lives.
And yes,
I will not deny that sometimes,
Or perhaps many times,
Life feels heavy,
Painful and exhausting.
But that same life also allows us to experience moments that fill our soul and heart.
And opens our eyes to the impermanence of our own existence.
This very impermanence is a universal law.
That reminds us that everything is constantly changing.
And that nothing lasts forever.
It is this duality that allows us to appreciate the magic of life.
Without it,
We would not be able to value life.
So,
On your darkest days.
.
.
Do not forget that you could have never existed.
But you do.
And simply because you exist,
You are worthy.
