Take courage, change your life — YouTube from the CEC Library

St. Damian is a very beautiful place, but the great idea behind it arose more than 800 years ago and was not ours. Imagine a rich person who had everything they needed and, at a certain moment, decided to change their life radically. The change was extreme: giving up everything in order to find themselves. To accomplish something like that, one must be moved by a very great strength.

We are accustomed to so many superficial things, which have no real meaning and pull us away from ourselves and from the path of growth. Those distractions move us away from the essence of life. To bring about a significant change, it is necessary to believe that it will bring the best that life can offer: the encounter with oneself. Life is us, but, in the way we walk, we move further and further away from it. If you need to change something in your life, have courage. Do it with common sense and believing in yourself. The best decisions are born in our own heart, not in that of others.
