In those moments of life when we feel discouraged about the future or disappointed by those closest to us, something sudden and unexpected can happen, capable of giving meaning to everything and transforming that disenchantment into joy and even a new peace within and outside of ourselves.

Sometimes it's such a personal and profound experience that it gives us the courage to step outside ourselves and share the reason for our joy with others, almost as if to encourage everyone to relive it, not only individually but also as a group. Who knows if this might not become our mission: to bring the joy that is the fruit of an inner transformation and that, in turn, transforms our surroundings, renewing them.

However, despite the initial surge of enthusiasm, that feeling of being able to "conquer the world," reality is difficult to face, and commitments become hard to keep. Where can we find the strength not to give up and to always be bearers of joy and peace? How can we avoid being defeated when it seems that humanity as a whole has failed us?

It can help to have a different perspective on situations, which means looking for all the positive aspects of the circumstances, without naiveté, but going beyond appearances and finding the strength not to get discouraged. We will discover that if we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. It's about committing to a daily struggle for the ideal of a renewed world.

We can find strength by joining with those who, like us, refuse to give up. status quo, Instead, they unite to be instruments of change. Especially at this historical moment, it is essential to look first and foremost within ourselves, to listen to our conscience, which will constantly suggest how to act or what words to share, so that by reaching out to others and sharing their aspirations, we can open new paths to the renewal of society.
