This weekend I had a life lesson. It was not the first time, but perhaps I had not understood what it meant to learn to be happy. Happiness unfortunately not unexpected falls from the sky, not a gift, not an objective state of mind. Happiness is a feeling that you can learn to have, because being happy does not depend on external factors, but only from us.
We spend most of our lives looking for something. This expectation leads us to continue to be unhappy 90% of our time. It is perhaps the reason why we need to hope that after death there something good will happen. But this would mean that happiness is not of this world, but sometimes we feel really happy. Do not mean to settle, no. It means that everything we get, if we really wanted, was a success. It means that whenever we have a satisfaction, we can be happy. If we are not is because we are always waiting for something to happen more beautiful, that place all the problems, that someone or something to give us the happiness we deserve.
not deserve happiness, you try and get. How it all. Imagine waiting a lifetime (or for a very long time) for something to happen, the thing that makes us truly happy. If it happens, when it happens, what to expect next? We invent another thing to expect, because we will be disappointed by the fact that what happened is not really made us happy, because there is always something, because it did not go exactly as we expected.
must never be as expected. And then there is perhaps unnecessary to wait? Maybe it is more useful to realize that it takes very little to be happy. There is always something to be happy. 'S also useful to realize that they will never be all right. So why deny that minute a day of happiness? We should not necessarily be always happy, but perhaps we would (I would) be good more often. Thanks for the lesson.
