Hello to all the beautiful people who are in this wonderful digital ecosystem, today I am encouraged to write about a situation that I have been facing for some time, but the time has come to put myself in the foreground and stop being in the background.

For those who have read me, you already know that I love sharing knowledge, doing activities that help other people to empower themselves, and since last year, I took a position at the University where I have been working for 22 years, and although I did not want to assume managerial commitments, I think and feel that it was the right time to take it, as I always say "God's timing is perfect".

The only problem and inconvenience I had was that we never received economic resources to support many projects and that made me feel tied, sometimes frustrated, because it hurt me to see friends and colleagues working as we say in Venezuela "with their fingernails" because it is their way of life, it is their essence and they described that what they do moves them from their BEING. In spite of this, I focused on designing unconventional strategies that would allow me not to incur in high budgets, but real to the circumstances and so I did...

Together with my dear nephew and inviting friends with a great sense of contributing to the world, we managed to carry out 2 international congresses, of which I feel extremely proud, especially because few believed in the idea, only a few took the risk to join me and the result was simply beautiful. I leave you the link to the channel so you can enjoy some of the presentations and panels of specialists: https://www.youtube.com/c/CREACI%C3%93NINTELECTUALGTO

The thing was, I had a boss who always believed in me, even though the majority in the institution did not support me, this person listened to me, understood the proposals I presented, helped me to improve the designed plan and everything was perfect, for me it was the job where I felt like a "fish in water", I think I found my life purpose.

With this support, we managed to gather different friends, researchers who are not only in Venezuela but in other Universities around the world and believed in the project that was designed about putting into production the RESEARCH JOURNAL, something, which became since February 15, 2021 when I assumed this role, one of the main goals and I remember that in the office of the boss I told him: "If in December 2021 the journal is not published, in January 2022, you will have my letter of resignation". Well, I told them that the magazine was published in our university portal on December 14, 2021, thanks to the teamwork that we were able to develop, something I want to share with everyone is that if you are a leader or boss, it is important to know the people or team, learn to listen to them and to observe what are the strengths or talents of each one, and based on this to define the best strategies to help develop our objectives, this was precisely what I think helped to meet the goal and not be afraid to delegate functions ...

As you can see, until now everything was fine, but they changed the Chief, and the problems began, the impositions, the "it is an order", "you have to do it now", and unfortunately despite loving what I do, that way I do not flow energetically.

The imposed things I have always thought that they are not done with the best disposition and that is affecting my mental and emotional peace, I have felt like leaving everything at once, but I am not like that, so, although I have problems with the "NO" because I always say "YES", this time I took courage and yesterday I wrote and told part of the University Council that in the month of May they will have my position at the order.

And you may be wondering why May and not now? The answer is simple, a month ago, in a University Council I was asked to organize an International Congress, I tell you that this time I was not very convinced, because I know the current situation of our technological platform, and that implies to be "too creative to give an answer", but in that meeting the impositions began, I will do it because it is an opportunity to share knowledge and I believe in the human talent we have, but I can no longer continue flowing, because even though I love this position, My mental and emotional peace have to be above all...

At home my mother tells me not to do it, to continue, everyone tells me not to quit, but I have told them that I will continue working simply with my research group, and supporting to give lectures and workshops to students and colleagues who ask me to do so.

And for the record, what I earn for the position, is not enough to buy shoes, I am simply because it is a strategic position in which I can seek partnerships to improve the institution, but at what cost?

If you got this far, I apologize for the length, but I needed to drain so many things, this space helps me to organize my ideas, my emotions and feelings, and thank you for reading.
