Lo que otros llaman desventaja, muchas veces es solo una perspectiva equivocada. No es la condición, ni el diagnóstico, ni la dificultad externa lo que nos limita… es la forma en que la interpretamos. Nuestra mente tiene el poder de transformar un obstáculo en una oportunidad, pero solo si dejamos de mirar nuestras diferencias como debilidades. La verdadera barrera no está afuera: está en la creencia que decidimos adoptar frente a lo que vivimos.

Some ideas remind us that personal growth is never just personal. That the fire that drives us, when nurtured with honesty and persistence, can lead to something greater—something that extends quietly beyond our own ambitions. In a world that often pushes us to chase success for its own sake, we forget that real purpose doesn’t need to be loud or heroic. It simply asks to be true. Our combined passions naturally propel us forward when we pursue our purpose with clarity and consistency — revealing that staying true to it might be the most generous gift we can offer the world.
