This is the season of believers.
And I am a believer—unconditionally.
I believe in goodness, in values, and in kindness.
I still believe that most people are good.
I believe in seeing the glass half full and in the power of positivity.
I believe in knowledge, experience, and expertise.
I believe in learning something new every day.
I believe that stretching assignments open the door to great opportunities.
I believe in action and consequences—both good and bad.
I believe that good thoughts and good behavior attract goodness in return.
I believe in giving without expecting anything back.
And I believe that success is the result of hard work, dedication, and determination.
I believe in magical moments.
I believe in family—those connected by blood and those life gives us as a gift.
I believe in love and in the blessed union called marriage, and I feel grateful every day for the children born from that love.
I believe and have faith in God.
I believe that when a year ends, it brings many lessons—some from successes, others from failures or difficult moments—but in every case, we learn. Those experiences make us stronger and better.
I believe that when a new year begins, it brings fresh starts, recharged energy, and new opportunities.
And I still believe in the younger me – a child who was always a believer, who learned from her father to love Christmas, even though her father went to heaven on Christmas Day, but, being her father a believer, this would be the only day for him to be turned into a bright star in the sky.
Not every day is good, but I believe the next day will be better.
To all believers—and to nonbelievers as well—I wish you a blessed holiday season.
Believe in yourself. Believe that you have the power to shape the year that is about to begin.
Godspeed
Erika Molina
