Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I eat perfectly. Sometimes I don't eat.
Knowledge is amazing. Knowledge is amazing and somehow, you know.
But for me knowledge is not book knowledge,
it's knowledge about myself, right?
So I decided to take all the tools
that I think helped me
so I can become a better person but to become a better person.
Of course, those challenges are the one. Like, for example, I when I live
the death on my of my grandfather, you know.
I gained a lot of weight, I was lonely, I didn’t accept myself
But it was like an emptiness.
And that small emptiness was,
exactly was just self love.
But self love in my core. Like, love
What I hate about myself, I accept it, I love it because of course, that's me too.
So when that happened in that moment, I was very, very depressed, obviously.
And I was, a part of lonely.
I never felt lonely, in a way.
More or less, it was like, I was scared of being lonely.
So what I did over there, it was just, I went deep.
I went deep, I went deep and I went deep, Even though,
it took me a lot or short, I don't know, but I went
and I accepted that my granddad left and what my granddad
did to me with his departure.
It was that, it was like,
in a way, he helped me to go deep.
To have the voice of going deep and to see like,
'Hey, you are three hours away of flying to
Guadalajara. You cannot travel because of COVID.
You are very close, not so far.
And I'm still loving my grandad. So, as well
If I miss those
ideas that I have, kind of, of what love is
completely, you know.
For me, love is just a superpower that you give and you give. That's love.
He just did that departure and that death
helped me to,
love myself, to accept myself,
to surrender to a lot of
things that I don't have in control. I just surrender and let go.
And something that I realised,
I knew it before. But now it was like practice time, like showtime and I didn't do it in the beginning,
but then I started doing it. It's like, I believe that we don't have ideas, the ideas have us.
You don't question that idea,
you know,
At least you question it,
Or you're going to do whatever that idea is going to tell you to do.
Sometimes people think that it's very arrogant
from our side
to show our lives.
But I think is more arrogant
that you are judging my life, without exposing yours.
Right?
It's not against you, it's that it helped me.
So, I can then bring to the second subject
it's like, why am I gonna expose myself?
Find some
balance with myself. Accept to myself, I don't need to hide anything.
I'm human.
And I don't feel better or worse than anyone.
So, first of all,
it's like in a freedom way.
Even though you expose me, even though
it makes me more vulnerable
and even though it's complicated And even though that, it's like,
why am I going to show myself?
And showing myself inspires people. It's like, wow.
Just be myself, love myself, do the things that I love.
Speak about the things that I believe,
there's no place to arrive, ever.
There's none.
The only one is death
And we're going to arrive there sooner or later.
Every time that you feel
you have done it. Not successfully, even internally like,
'Oh, everything is calm.'
Like, it should be like that.
Know what you need to get used to it is
Is to get resilient
And calm.
And free and in a loving place.
in the storm.
Because then of course, when there's sunny days, you're going to enjoy them even more, of course.
Or when there's rainy days. just to put an example.
And if you're enjoying that, wow, It's like,
you break the code, in a way, of this
simulation that I believe we live in, right?
I think that 99% of my decisions, like the most important decisions of my whole life,
they didn't come from like pleasure, or from like a place of like,
'Oh, it's gonna be divine.' No, it was completely the opposite. It was like,
be vulnerable.
Be exposed.
Be yourself
Grow.
It scares the shit out of everyone and it's good, but don't run away.
Because that's what the ego comes from. Ego, It's protecting you from death.
And then when ego feels that you are vulnerable, you're exposed like you cannot defend yourself.
For the ego, what it means is like you're closer to death in a way.
When you're vulnerable,
like this pressure of the way of the exposure of my job,
that it brings a lot of fame and stuff like that,
my family helped me in that way too. Because, of course, my granddad
was a soccer player.
then he was the father of my mother. Then my mother
gets married with with my with my dad, right?
So, from both ways, I have that.
And both of my grandparents and my dad were famous.They have a very
national or very important career
So I was like,
smelling a living fame, in a way. So I learned a lot..
In the end, money fame and all that stuff are just tools.
They don't define me.
What defines me is how I utilise those tools.
It will be much easier for athletes,
not only soccer players,
every athlete, every artist,
every people that you think is like untouchable,
to see that human side,
if society wasn't that much of a taker.
Let us be.
You saw, as well, Billie Eilish said,
I don’t know if you saw Billie Eilish's documentary,
or you see Taylor Swift once and
you can hear the song of Justin Bieber, 'Lonely’ and stuff like that you realise it's like
wow. Like, you saw Britney Spears two documentaries, it's like,
my God, we have a responsibility as society, it's not only them.
Like it's not only their problem, they're just doing their share that they love.
And I'm asking, in a way from you guys, in a way, like the media, like
yeah, it’s no it's not all about business. Like,
for me it's not all about scoring goals.
It’s this exactly. It’s not about you selling
and it's not about me just scoring goals.
The baskets in the NBA,
home runs in MLB, it's like
we all are humans. Like, you too, guys. It's not only
you getting the the first news and the exclusive
and selling and selling. Like,
we both need to come to a sweet spot and a middle term,
so it's more it's more human. I think we both need to like, approach
in a way, so we both are more comfortable,
that you see me as a human and I see you as a human.
So it's a both ways thing.
And then we're going to impact society amazingly, guys,
amazingly,
I think we can change generations
or improve generations and touch people and humanise people.
In the end,
the only the only thing that I want from people,
is like, I don't care if they judge me, I don't care if they criticise me, I don't care if they even
speak good about me or if they love me,
I don't care. The purpose of myself showing, it's like,
as an avatar. Not personal because it's not like
I can take the credt.
I don't give a shit about that. It’s just like,
if me showing you
that I can, you can.
Period.
That’s the most important thing for me.
It's like whatever, whatever. it 's like, if I can, you can
I want to win championships with this club, with this amazing club.
I want to score a lot of goals, I want to win games and stuff like that
But the idea is,
from where I want
to achieve all of that, it's not it's not by emptiness is not just to
accumulate success. It's not just to show that I'm a better or worse human than anyone, right?
It’s just of the pure, love
of seeing how far I can go
and to push myself beyond limits. Like,
in my brain it says to me
'This is your limit.' Why? Why you need to like...?
Why is it telling me that? Like, no. Like,
it’s why I have this phrase that
became very famous in
Spanish, like, 'Imaginemos cos chingonas.' it's like kind of like.
imagine like very amazing things, in a way. Like
because it's free, man, it's free. If you can
imagine very scary and unpleasant scenarios, well you can imagine, as well,
a fucking amazing life.
So yeah, I’m little bit sorry that I spoke a lot, but that's
where I am already because
people think, when you are good,
like everything is already chilled and everything is like, balanced and everything is like
you can chill. And it's completely the opposite. It's like,
the only thing is like, I'm embracing more
of the chaos, that I decide to live sometimes and what the universe sends to me.
And I'm resilient.
Most resilient than staying the victim in those moments when they happen.
