I like people who are worth more than they are worth, I mean those people with which it is worth sharing joy, time, the echo of laughter and even sadness, they are people who inspire, who whisper in a low voice that life is a good place. after all, because as long as there is someone to enjoy it with, there will be hope.
The truth is that focusing our day-to-day life on positivity is of great help, we are experiencing difficult times that lead us to a profound change of consciousness, this is something that many of us intuit: it seems that values such as social equality and sensitivity towards others are empty and obsolete abstractions in the face of the power of money and a superstructure that moves its threads relentlessly.
“Everything worthwhile is worth our effort and attention. “Ray Kroc?
In these times of change we must value the old codes: to find the link between people, the love for the simplest and purest things, such as love and friendship, through the little things great changes are generated, those that begin with a small crisis. and bring about many changes.
Right now, we must not waste time in what causes suffering, in what erases our smile or our hopes, we want people to enlighten us, we want open windows and paths without barriers, we want to believe that it is possible to create a better world if there is a common will.
Happiness as a constitutional right is an aspect that appears in many constitutions, in the Declaration of Independence of the United States, for example, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin wrote in the preface that everyone has the right to seek and build happiness. Japan, South Korea and, more recently, Brazil have also included this aspect which, more than a dream, is the most dignified respect a man can desire.
“Happiness is not achieved with great strokes of luck, but with the little things that happen every day. “Benjamin Franklin?
Socrates also told his students that everyone’s goal is to be happy. According to this sage from Athens, we must invest in our qualities to set an example for each other. Buddhism, on the other hand, speaks of mental balance and material detachment. All these pillars, however ironic, are far from our Western societies, always concerned about rising GDP rates, totally neglecting a population that does not know how to be happy. And if you know the recipe, you can’t make it happen.
We live in a world without joy. Indeed, the World Happiness Report, which is prepared every year, shows that something is wrong and invites us to think: countries with the most advanced technology and the highest GDP are not the happiest, on the contrary, more familiar cultures or friendships have a more dignified, satisfying and satisfying level of emotional well-being.
Creating a hopeful world, not worthwhile, is not a daily task, it is an arduous task that requires above all a change of consciousness of all, starting with ourselves, we know that governments do not see happiness as a primary goal. , that the emotions and well-being of individuals have been replaced by the “well-being of numbers”, and they are the ones who guide our cycles of growth and crisis.
“When we share, we expand our ability to be happy. ” Tibetan proverb?
Therefore, it is essential to open those internal windows that rust from an environment that does not wear out easily over time. Is it time to listen to our inner world so that this world is worth joy, laughter, hope, life?
This may seem like a no-brainer, but something as simple as giving importance to happiness and inner balance can be the best key to change, and applying it in our day-to-day life can help us a lot.
? Surround yourself with people who bring you well-being, encourage you and allow you to be yourself in all situations, stay away from people who bring you nothing but worries and storms of all kinds.
? Happiness is first and foremos s. Perhaps it is time to rationalize our fears: to confront these crippling fears that enclose us in our comfort zone and turn them into something positive.
? You need to understand the true meaning of the word “crisis”. For the Greeks, crisis means evolution. It is a time of uncertainty, but it is also a period of valuable growth opportunities, where human beings will do their best. Resilience and creativity are vital moments when there is no place to give up.
According to Sonja Lyubomirsky, better known as the scientist of positive emotions, about 50% of our happiness is under our control, the remaining 50% depends on the events around us and even biological factors, that is an acceptable probability. It is a great starting point for our daily life to be worth the joy, our dreams, our laughter and our well-being.
