Hi dear @crypto.piotr Thank you for being an important part of our story. When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. Venezuelans are survivors of a political tsunami called socialism of the 21st century. Socially vulnerable people are disproportionately exposed to daily adversities.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
Thank you very much to support building social resilience in our country.
I think that, resilience is a process, not a trait. It involves how we interact and negotiate with ourselves, others, and our world; how we navigate through the resources that help us thrive; and how we move on a positive trajectory of success and health in the midst of adversity, trauma, and everyday stress. The three major protective factors that help us mitigate adversity and nourish personal strength are caring relationships, high expectations, and opportunities to participate and contribute.
Resilient people identify themselves as survivors rather than victims. They acknowledge that life comes with challenges and setbacks, which they can overcome. One person's support can be crucial in developing another's resilience, and this wonderful Social Media Platform Steemit has been a valuable tool that has helped many Venezuelans to grow within their own potentialities and perhaps their creators do not know it.
I am convinced that our perseverance through tough times can make us stronger. Challenging life experiences can be opportunities for growth and change.
The situation in Venezuela is a disaster. Having the highest inflation in the world, after four consecutive years, is making the minimum monthly wage of the Venezuelans the lowest in the world: five dollars a month! There is no economy that can survive this situation. There is widespread discouragement in society and there is a desire to move to other countries. The government, supported by the military, has full control of power in the country: executive, judicial and legislative. President Maduro has absolute powers and may dictate the law without consulting the legislative assembly. On the other hand, the opposition is divided and weakened: many of its leaders are imprisoned. There is no alternative plan. The most painful thing is that, despite all the power, the government is not able to find solutions to the problems of the nation: inflation to the stars, lack of food and medicine, violence and impunity, corruption… Its only obsession is to remain in power.
When so many things fail, when people go hungry, when there are no medicines and hospitals do not have the means to take care of the sick, when there is no hope for change, when families break up because of emigration, the national government refuses to recognize the terrible situation we are experiencing. Inflation makes many products unattainable with our money.
For a country in our situation, I believe that you need to see your circumstance as a positive development and not a negative one. What I am trying to say is that we have to rejoice in the natural gifts that have been given to us, and that rate of failure and a willingness to try again seems teach a few practical lessons in being resilient, incorporates a shift from a problem-based deficit model to a strengths-based one.
What gives me hope is reading or hearing about all the people all over the world from so many cultures who are working in so many ways to help our country recover.
PROJECT #HOPE Beautiful gesture, it is a source of inspiration and motivation for many Venezuelans, an opportunity to moving hearts and minds to develop the human potentialities of many people. But also, from this space we want to tell the world our reality, which is not only to make money from the Social Media Platform Steemit, it is so that other people understand the cruelest adversities that we are living in Venezuela and we do not surrender, we keep fighting until take out of our lives this evil political experiment.
I believe that hope always triumphs and I believe that love is stronger than death.
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
Thank you for being you!
Have a great weekend
A big hug for you
