WELCOME TO THE WORLD, MARC! 
time not long ago has come a new and beautiful child into this world! We will call ... Marc? ;-)
anyone think that, for a couple of days, has not had the luck to be the first baby of the new year, which would be feted by all and has already gone on TV. Nor has it come the next day of Reyes, as a huge gift from 3.8 kilos! Needless it does! Has been fortunate to be healthy, in a family in a country ... and in an environment of love! While it is true that all children at birth, they do where they do, it always bring a smile to welcome them to this world!
But no doubt, Marc has been the largest and most magical gift, he has returned the smile to whom I needed to smile back to life! Marc Thanks for being here today and now, for reminding us that life is important in itself, that just comes to be, which lasts as long, as we are able to laugh than to mourn ... and because a simple grin of yours was enough to give color to the lives of those you love and you are! You were born on the 3rd of January, a new moon day, you Capricorn, you name evangelist and the symbol of a mighty lion, arrive in a year that will be remembered for the crisis ... but you're much more than that! If you are someone who gave a smile to your mom, dad ... and others that, although you do not know or not know them, you are and will be watching you grow, day by day! That is your power, your soul pure, hidden beneath the apparent fragility and vulnerability of a baby crying and comes with clenched fists to this crazy world, a place neither better nor worse than you explain the greatest and where you must learn to be yourself, to love others ... even if your first learn to laugh and mourn! Your very, very recent involuntary presence as a great omen, and has brought happiness to those who wait and I love you!
And is that life gives us the opportunity laugh or mourn every minute! Sometimes we start rennet smile ... and the next minute we returned with interest! At the end of the day, life is like a big hotel with a revolving door of entry, which continuously enter and leave different hosts and we can not always choose the room where we stayed: the joy or sadness , happiness or unhappiness! There are rooms of all kinds ... and difficult to repeat more than once in the same room. To better understand the hotel will go through the different rooms, although each of them do not stay more than a few days! So full of life, full of rooms of all sizes, colors and decorations and on different floors!
And today, dear Marc, you are a new and highly anticipated guest of this grand hotel that is life, in which many other guests staying and where you looked forward to! Maybe when you grow up you'll discover that the service and hotel staff can be improved, in which almost everything is done because we learn day by day, but that has reached here: to bring joy to those around you to teach to suffer a sense, to improve ... and that, at last, be able to create your own happiness and share it with other guests, improving this great hotel that is life!
Thanks for coming, Marc, you were expecting ... with a smile! ;-)

Perhaps the best way to start a new year is starting a new life, as they say! But starting a new life does not necessarily mean you stop living longer live, but living in a new way! Maybe enough to give your life meaning! Maybe you will not know how or when they arrived, but where are you going! Usually people are stubborn and, at the time, thinking blocks how come ...! And probably no one can guess that how. It is life to tell the way ...
Starting a new year is an invitation to think about what we expect from him. Surely you've done it many times, but it is quite possible that everything is still to be done. You have to know the fate , you do not know the way, which will be figuring in each of your steps. And a new year is the ideal time to define what you want in your life ... and not simply be and do what you suggest or life tells you.
particular, each new year, I insist again that is able to live each moment as something ever new and magical, something concrete that request and expected! That ability to surprise , as I call him, taught me my beautiful 10 year old daughter who lives with intensity all that comes, without attachment and without expectations! That, I think, is the secret recipe, or both, of eternal youth ! And if it's something, I will say it has little to do with the age of one ... since this is a hobby always shared with my maternal grandmother until she died at 90-odd years! I admit that before, given my busy life, I saw and faced with new developments like ancient history or something that was repeated over and over again in my life! Each new person, time or place reminded me of something from my past and I lived with some regret, as if it were possible to be surprised by anything and really new! Needless to say, that deprived me of enjoying new meetings, time and place they spent long as I live! That
new way to face life and each of its new moments in Igualada gave me the opportunity to learn, grow, experience new things in my life and, above all, to be open to all that came . I guess I learned to expect the new without fear and have this funny feeling that you still have many new and exciting things to do still my life! It is, so to speak, as if he had been born again and start my life with a renewed passion, every day! Needless to say, I know few people with that way of seeing and living life, I guess this has brought me some misunderstanding about me, but on the other hand, has allowed me to connect with people in spirit forever young!
not too many years ago that repetitive and monotonous life had been boring me life, not to find any incentive to stay alive! "Repeat my life, day by day? What horror! I had quite experienced before! Honestly, if someone had given me a simple and effective pill that allowed me sleep and never wake again, I would have gladly taken! But fortunately, it did not happen and yes, however, I awoke to a new life where I stopped being victim and protagonist going to be it! From that moment everything changed and now I can say firmly that it now more me what my life is tied to the lived since then, either new people, time and place! This was refined in my memory and I managed to stay with the learning that gave me! I realized that everything I am today I owe, but did not let my conditions more present, and my future to come!
That's my thinking to a new year comes, like so many others! But how could it be otherwise, comes forward! It will have new opportunities to build new challenges, new people and to enrich me I will share everything I am, sharing new moments that will and / or create together! In this new year there will be new scenarios , new chapters of my unfinished life forever, but always also about runs out! Each magical encounter will be a blank page for writing, every dream to share a chapter and each new day time necessary to try to find that moment of happiness that life keeps me in a corner!
Wishing you a fantastic year, you deserve ... though not always remember or see it well!

bring a text that speaks of vision in life, ie how to decide where to go! Read it and draw your own conclusions .. . VISION
"Take a determination that the matter can and should be done, and then find a way." ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Everything is created twice. Everything. Vision is the first creation. To a home is the plane. For life is a mission. For a day is a goal and a plan. For a parent is a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For everything, always the mental creation precedes physical creation, or second creation.
vision not only helps us to discover current opportunities where others may not see them, also points to the future and inspires us to ask: "Where I want to be in five years? "In ten years?" Answering these questions takes time, and even should dream a little. Think about the achievements and plans that want to achieve in the next five years, and what would be the best way achieve them.
Reflections on the Vision
• What dreams do you have? Where do you see yourself in five years? Do you get time from your busy agenda to dream a little?
put • Are your expectations high enough? Too high?
• Don Schoendorfer had a long-term vision that divided on important short-term goals. First one hundred free distribution wheelchairs, then a hundred thousand seats, then twenty million. "You divide your goals into significant landmarks at points of celebration?
• What have you done recently to expand your sense of vision, see life with all its wonders from different angles?
"Everyday Greatness" by Stephen Covey
