Our good fortune begins with the certainty that it is possible to create what we dream of.
They say we teach more by example than by words, and today, with the creative energy so present, I remembered one of those teachings I not only heard but saw come to life.
Today we are accompanied by the energies of Tz’ikin, who opens paths of good fortune, and Oxib’, who activates the power to create. My father, Tat Carlos Barrios, born under the star of Tz’ikin, used to say the power of this day is so great it can make possible what seems impossible. What matters is remembering that this reality is created by us and believing, without leaving room for doubt, that yes, we can create it. This was not something he only said, he lived it. He had such a certainty that he would achieve what he set out to do, that sometimes it seemed like he made magic. Things happened to him so amazing that when told, they could seem hard to believe.
This is what I want to share today: we all have that same capacity to create, we just need to believe it.
Nuestra buena fortuna empieza con la certeza de que es posible crear todo eso que soñamos.
Se dice que se enseña más con el ejemplo que con las palabras y hoy que la energía creativa está tan presente, recordé una de esas enseñanzas que no solo escuché sino que vi hacerse realidad.
Hoy nos acompañan las energías de Tz’ikin, que abre caminos de buena fortuna, y Oxib’, que activa el poder de crear. Mi papá, Tat Carlos Barrios, que nació bajo la estrella de Tz’ikin, solía decir que el poder de este día es tan grande que puede hacer posible lo que parece imposible. Que lo importante es recordar que esta realidad la creamos nosotros y creer, sin dejar espacio a la duda, que sí podemos crearla. Y esto no era algo que solo decía, lo vivía. Tenía una certeza tan firme en que iba a lograr lo que se proponía que a veces parecía que hacía magia. Le pasaban cosas tan impresionantes que al contarlas podían parecer difíciles de creer.
Eso es lo que quiero compartir hoy, que todos tenemos esa misma capacidad de crear, solo necesitamos creerlo.
Today begins a trecena under the energy of Ajaw Aj, which indicates the inner strength, authority and power. It is learning the value of caring, protecting, and guiding in order to bring strength. Aj tells us that the path begins with the first step, so it is necessary to take action, keeping in mind that everything unfolds when there is a good foundation, strong roots provided by Ajaw Aj. The power and recognition given by this Ch’umil should not distance us from being humble and aware, because one of the greatest obstacles on the path is pride. Aj inspires a respect based on experience, so we must pay attention and avoid being imposing, obsessive, overly serious, or someone who becomes a ruler.
Taking a step into the unknown is not always comfortable, but staying in the familiar may limit what we are here to manifest.
Let us intentionally seek to experience things that fill us with joy.
We do not need to dim other lights for ours to shine.
Let us remember that every moment of our life can be sacred.
Flourishing is not something that happens in a rush, so why not honor our own timing and rhythm?
Kej, which speaks to us of the balance of our being, brings today the force of the masculine, so this day offers a beautiful opportunity to observe how we relate to this energy.
We, like nature and the universe, move in a cyclical pattern.
