Asked Juan Rulfo, the illusion? It cost me more than I could afford?The illusion is linked to the senses and it is this skill that we have to gather all our forces and concentrate them in favor of achieving a goal. And it means deception; so is the illusion, it is this gift that we must believe in these things that we do not see, but that help us to live.
Illusion is related to positive emotions. When we deceive ourselves, we feel good, we feel full and motivated, our eyes are changing. So is our emotional state. We feel excited and full of energy, it is a feeling that fills us with power.
- From a young time we use illusions to build our life project.
- Define our dreams and determine our goals.
- We live with it because it is the force that drives us to achieve our goals.
- Illusion is our travel companion.
- With him we think about where we would like to go.
- What we would like to be or who we would like to have by our side.
- Illusion helps us achieve our dreams.
The illusion serves not to give up, to fill us with courage and to encourage us to achieve our long-term goals. Over the years, it seems that the deposit of our illusions is running out. This feeling is associated with experience; we don’t feel the same illusion when we repeat things several times, compared to the first time we do them, so we need to renew our illusions.
The problem of illusions arises when we do not know how to conform, that is, we build our goal on expectations on which our happiness or self-esteem depends directly, in that case, if we do not reach them, we will feel bad, so we must motivate ourselves, create illusions without taking off too much.
Illusion connects with the most positive feelings of the human being and is contagious. We seek the illusion of feeling better, of achieving something that makes us happy. Eduardo Punset argues that “in the hypothalamus of the brain is what scientists call the demand circuit. “This circuit, which alerts the sources of pleasure and happiness, is activated only during the search, and not during the act itself.
“In this quest, in the waiting, there is most of the happiness. “Gilbert Keith Chesterton said that “there’s something that gives splendor to everything that exists, and it’s the illusion of finding something around the corner. “Illusion nourishes our sense of happiness, so it is something we must cultivate.
