Human beings are used to living in a world of absolutist demands and absurd obligations, we put enormous pressure on ourselves and end our daily lives full of tension and anxiety.
The society in which we live tells us that we have to do certain things, have some work, or be a certain way to be someone of value.
- If we decide to buy this very artificial.
- Absurd and unreal dogma.
- We will feel constantly pressured because we will think: I need to be beautiful! I need to be a recognized professional! I need to educate my children to perfection! I need to paint the perfect picture! Etc.
- ?.
Interestingly, when we let ourselves be carried away by the force of obligation, we produce in ourselves what in psychology are called mental blockages. It’s because you put so much pressure on and give importance to this fact that you have to undertake, as if they were all in life, you end up failing and things don’t go as you’d like, or maybe you feel incapable of doing something for yourself. Fear of failure.
When projects or plans develop with anxiety and tension, the end result is generally poor. This in turn fuels negative thoughts about you and increases demand again because “I should have done it right!”
The key to getting out of this vicious cycle is to start realizing that obligations are self-imposed by you and only you, it is true that our culture unfortunately sends us superficial messages about how we should be or how we should act, but at the end of the day, it is up to you to decide whether to stick to those ideas or not.
It has been shown that those who undertake a personal or professional project without demanding themselves, simply having fun and putting their passion on it, go much further than those who are constantly under pressure.
The enthusiast works and works hard, that’s for sure, but he does it with love because he wants to enjoy what he does, that’s his goal, if things go well, well, but if they don’t come out perfect or fail, he knows it’s not the end of the world.
Failure means learning and passporting to success, and although after many failures you do not achieve any interesting goals, it will not be the end of the world either, because life offers you millions of interesting alternatives to develop, but always enjoy. !
Is it so important to understand that there is a child in us who wants to be comfortable with life and the rest of the world?
In the end, the most important goal of the human being is to be happy, and to be happy you have to get rid of the ballast and the stones of his backpack, take them out?Should I, because no one has, and I shouldn’t do anything.
When we free ourselves from those mental chains that we ourselves decide to tie ourselves to, we discover that living and being happy is the easiest thing in the world. You go out and do what you want, without fear of anything. Without fear of public opinion or approval, without fear of failure?you have a good time and you do what you have to do because you love to do it, and that’s it.
Suddenly you realize that your inner child laughs at everything and everything because in any situation there is something to laugh and play with, it’s life, a game, and playing involves pleasure, satisfaction, loving life as it presents itself, without demanding, without imposing.
Do you have arms, legs, a healthy head to think about, food and drink, other things?
If you have all this and more are in luck, you have everything to let yourself be carried away by the force of enjoyment and do whatever you want with serenity.
Do things because you want to, because that’s how you want it, because they fall in love with you and get nothing in return, but only for your well-being.
Quit your office job if you like being a sculptor!Or at least try to make room for what you love!Let that man you know how to hurt himself!
Nobody forces you to stay where you don’t want to be
You should know that if your daily life, with the essentials, is already resolved, there is nothing to fear and what you will get will be the most rewarding thing you can get in your whole life: your own happiness.
So the lesson you have to take is:
“From now on I will let myself be carried away by the force of passion and I will set aside the strength of obligation, because to get far you have to fall in love.
