Building Our World
The Power of Choise
Summing things up is something we're taught since childhood.
But no one tells us which addends to include in the calculation.
Among the many lessons received from Michela Murgia, one phrase encapsulates our philosophy.
"It’s not true that the world is bad, it depends on the kind of world you make for yourself."
Well, for what surrounds you to become your beautiful world, you have much to do.
You have countless choices to make.
First of all, choose what is inside and what lies outside its boundaries.
Choose to invest your energy in fighting only what you can control, accepting what is beyond your control.
Choose to keep your dreams alive, while focusing on achievable goals.
Choose to improve yourself, without waiting for others to change.
Choose to celebrate the passage of time, rather than persist in fighting it.
What an extraordinary verb, “to choose.”
Every day, our wish is to always be able to choose.
Never lose your compass, choose to walk with vivid enthusiasm along the paths that are worth it, learning to distinguish between holes to be repaired and those to be bypassed, letting yourself be inspired by the beauty of the journey and your carefully chosen companions.
Every day we choose, together with you, to make Oliveto a Mare an oasis of peace and welcome,
our beautiful world.
