|| Perder para ganar || La vida es demasiado preciosa y fugaz para dejarla en manos de otros, para permitir que arbitrariamente la gente a nuestro alrededor decida cómo llenar nuestra taza emocional y espiritual, y que al final del día terminen dándonos más problemas y responsabilidades de los que podemos cargar. Esa carga extra puede provocar que no lleguemos a destino, por eso a veces hace falta tirar unas maletas por la borda, porque si no lo hacemos -ya sea por debilidad o motivados por el deseo de complacer a todo el mundo- podemos terminar volando más bajo de la altura que Dios quiere que volemos.
