The Desert teaches: To go forward


Above all others, it maybe the most difficult test: to have the strength not to give up in the face of difficulties that often catch us unprepared, and to continue on the path of our lives without stopping, overcoming every obstacle with determination, determined to move forward, always. How many times is it tempting to give up, to say “enough, I can’t take anymore!” It is easier to stop, so you avoid suffering, you can lay in limbo for a quiet life, devoid of difficulties. But in this way you also say good-bye to strong emotions. You give up the chance to get involved and to live dreams, to strive and know how it feels to win something in which you believe in to the end, which is worth all the trouble and pain in the world. The desert teaches this: to look forward, not bowing your head, not giving up in the face of pressure from those who would stop or divert us from the road ahead: as the tortuous, difficult and full of obstacles it is always better than a convenient path: that without a doubt would be safer, but also terribly dull and boring!
