The great thing about life is that you make mistakes and learn from them, you can always reinvent yourself and change to be a better person, the motivation is always pursuing happiness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Help people. Ive worked with children with learning disabilities. The greatest thing has been when at the end of a period the parents told me they were doing so much better in school. Also being supportive and listening to people, that gives me a great satisfaction, that people can rely on me.
Teach, Learn, Share
Psychoanalisis is a great and very accurate method to know yourself, this has given me lots of answers to enjoy my life more and being thankful with all of what I get.
