La consigna es como sigue: o haces tu revolución afectiva o revientas.

Amar es buscar el bien del otro y disfrutarlo, que su dolor nos duela y su alegría nos alegre, y con el amor propio ocurre algo similar: si no te perdonas, si te fastidia estar contigo mismo, si no te soportas y te menosprecias, ¡pues no te amas!

La felicidad no es una estación a la cual hay que llegar, sino una manera de viajar". Esa es la salud mental: viajar bien.

Amar sin apegos es amar sin miedos. Es asumir el derecho a explorar intensamente el mundo, a hacerse cargo de uno mismo y a buscar un sentido de vida. También significa tener una actitud realista frente al amor, afianzar el autorespeto y fortalecer el autocontrol. Es disfrutar de la dupla placer/seguridad, sin volverla imprescindible. Es hacer las paces con Dios y la incertidumbre. Es tirar la certeza a la basura y dejar que el universo se haga cargo de uno. Es aprender a renunciar.

Apartar lo que sobra, desvincularse y decir adiós con la sabiduría de quien ha comprendido lo que no le conviene.

No importa lo que pienses: no mereces sufrir, así que mientras puedas evitar el sufrimiento inútil e innecesario, te estarás respetando a ti mismo. No hay felicidad completa sin autorrespeto, sin mantenerse fiel a tu propio ser y al potencial que llevas dentro.
