Until recently many of us were what we could or what others let us be, yet over time, the heart lights up and the gaze becomes brave, fears have been set aside, because today, at last, we are all that we want, without restrictions or reservations, and without fear of what they will say.
Getting there is not always easy, the result of a trip for which you do not always buy the right tickets, professional achievement does not come over the years, like the first white threads or the first wrinkles, achieve fullness and that feeling of well-being -The being and inner balance is not a rule, not even a program that we can install in our own brain as the one who downloads a new application on his smartphone.
“Happiness happens when what you think, what you do and say is in harmony. -Gandhi-
On the other hand, there’s something funny about all this, when we sometimes walk into a café and listen to a conversation, there’s a phrase that’s almost always repeated, it’s like a chorus, a kind of regret or almost a motivation: “All I want is to be happy. “
This phrase contains a certain drop of despair and a lot of desires, it is as if many of us feel a kind of “depersonalization”, as if we are trapped in a reality with which we do not identify, that does not belong to us. because it just doesn’t bring us true happiness.
We suggest that you think about this and invite you to make changes to build a new reality.
For many years research to study happiness has focused on explaining how we can be happy, in fact, today there is no shortage of self-help manuals that address the issue in the same way: happiness as a goal, but happiness should not be a goal, but a consequence, a byproduct of each of the actions we do at the end of the day , those that are worth living.
Let’s look at an example. Alastair Humphreys is a person who could define himself as an “adventurer. “This writer and motivational coach works for National Geographic and launched a small challenge for his readers throughout the magazine in 2012. He wanted to teach his disciples to encourage their personal growth, to begin to be the ones they really wanted and not what others expected of them.
To achieve this, he introduces them to a technique he calls “micro-adventures”. It was a direct invitation to find an inner balance posing small daily challenges. The way you do it couldn’t be easier. He suggested the following.
The secret to a fuller life may begin today, but for that we need two basic ingredients: constant commitment and creativity, this is how our daily micro-adventures will generate new thoughts, new emotions and greater well-being.
Here are some examples
“Today may be the beginning of everything you have decided to do.
Putting these singles into practice on a day-to-day life generates small and constant changes that gradually lead to new things, that is how we understand that true happiness is part of a process and not an unattainable goal that we set ourselves on the horizon. It is about tearing down walls, barriers and limiting attitudes to unite us, to allow our true being to emerge.
There are people who pride themselves on being noble titans for never having changed, always maintaining the same style of thinking, the same attitudes and the same essence, you have to be careful with this type of personality because the human being, voluntarily or not, is obliged to move forward as a person, to grow, to be flexible and to adapt to this complex reality to build a more integral happiness , real and full.
Not being the same person that yesterday is not a tragedy, because despite the outcasts, disappointments and losses, something new, something beautiful, something brighter and certainly much stronger, what we are today is not. only the result of our past, because in our being we also feed the hope of the future and the pleasure of a present to be appreciated being ourselves.
So let us understand that happiness is a process, not an end, let us learn that TODAY is always the best time to make decisions, reaffirm ourselves and cross the barriers of our fears to reach the top of everything we deserve.
