Miguel Angel Ruiz contagious benefits I had a massive heart attack, and in my belief that I was close to dying, I took the opportunity to teach my son about death. That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists. From that moment on, he began living in the present time, knowing that the future is just a possibility, and without believing all the opinions from the past.

But it's only truth in their mind, just as your truth is only truth in your mind, and nobody else's.
