We walk the path of life always following a goal: a university degree, the ideal partner, a family, a trip, buy a house, a car, make money ... we walk as direct as possible to that goal, without looking at our around, we think that only when we reach that goal, we will achieve happiness. However sometimes everything results in disappointment for many reasons: sometimes we want more of what we get, what we obtained was not what we expected, it does not bring us enough satisfaction or we just realize that we really did not want that for us.
This way of looking at life makes us extremely dependent, fragile; it is enough that a small detail is different from what we expected so that everything falls apart, we feel that the whole plan of life is irremediably destroyed, that it will never be possible to be happy if that goal is not achieved. We are affected by a small economic stumble, changes in plans, small actions by family, friends or couples: a look, a word, even a simple message or status on social networks.
In the moments when we feel miserable we long for the times in which everything was different, when we felt comfortable, happy; Sometimes we live in nostalgia, in memory and in the past, a sound, a word, a scent, something that we look at triggers a memory that ends in sadness. So we decided to live, hurting ourselves.
We do not realize that there is always another option, the decision of what we are and what we will be is ours, the past is always a teaching, it is not about successes and failures, we enjoy those memories, that small detail that activates our senses and take us to a different time in our life, make us smile instead of sadden us. We must understand that not everything is forever and that the things that are worthwhile will endure no matter what happens, there will always be something to follow, even knowing this, we can live without fear, we have the power to choose to enjoy each day and every detail, enjoy the feeling of freedom, walk through life taking the best of each experience, even in the worst moments, we can live instead of surviving.
The choice is yours: to walk a path thinking that it will take you to happiness when you reach the end or to pass life taking happiness in the little things that happen along that path.
Do not forget to live, you never know when the road ends.
