Jesus Agudo had begun a mission back on April 14th of 2010 to save his seventeen year old son’s life. He had given up on reasons to live for. He apparently lost site of everything in life that could be appreciated. The darkness, clutter and distractions had taken over his mind set as he began the down word spiral of negative thoughts.
Yes, his son had tried to end his life. The lack of realizations of what life had to offer was forgotten. We are easily put in this type of situation due to being bombarded with negativity of any type from any angle at any given moment.
However, despite his de-appreciation for life on that day, Jesus knew that he was alone and that he needed interaction in one way or another. Even though his phone was turned off, his wife and Jesus along with others sent him a massive amount of loving, positive texts and voicemails. We had hope that our son would receive what he needed to see and hear from these texts and voicemails.
It was the hope that the positivity and light we were sending him via voice messages and texts would reach his mind. It is what was needed most to combat the negativity and darkness or clutter that currently controlled our son's existence.
The efforts of our texts and voicemails were not wasted. He had turned on his phone just one more time before attempting to end his life. The texts were art for his eyes as the voicemails acted as inspirational music for his ears. The balance of dark and light had begun. Simply being able to have light come his way is just what was needed. The light that we all need to see and feel is enough for us to continue onward in our journey. The remedy for his depression is merely the opposite of what put him there to begin with, love and positivity.
On April 14, 2010. This is the day when something BIG would happen. This was the fourth day of his seven day evaluation at the psychiatric hospital that he ended up in. On this day, the psychiatrist pointed her finger directly at Jesus and said, “You need to surround your son with reasons to live for.”
He had a handful of good reasons, but for the most part that was all he had, just a handful.
Before she lowered her finger he immediately began to search for the answers within his mind.
Jesus thought to himself, “there has to be bigger reasons to live for.”
Then… *Bang!!!* At that moment, it felt as if he had been downloaded with an amazing plan. It was the master plan to find the answers that were so greatly needed. He was to search and find reasons to live for. Jesus thought of a phrase that would help him in his plan and forever change him, his family and others.
The phrase, “Living Is So Big” was born right there and then. Now, to get more information about the inception of Living Is So Big, you can find out more from our first book “Living Is So Big – Darkness to Light.” This is the true story of what transpired within his family and how they turned a negative into a positive.
Jesus (father), Iliana (mother) and Christopher (son) have toured the United States to reach people with the desire to effect a positive change in their lives. To date, they have traveled over 70,000 miles and have visited 70+ cities. They go to middle & high schools, universities, businesses, stores, and events spreading the message of Universal Life Appreciation.
