Sometimes we are looking for happiness, we can visualize it in the future, when we meet a certain goal, when we live in a different place, when we have more money...
We focus so much on looking for it in what we don't have that we forget that we can find it in our daily lives despite the chaos.
And without meaning to, happiness becomes impossible to achieve, impossible to live, impossible to enjoy, it can go unnoticed in front of our eyes, even if we have it in front of us.

There are stages in which we are so focused on producing, on doing things, that we forget to live, we forget that we can enjoy the processes, that happiness does not have to be only the goal achieved, we can also enjoy the journey.
There is a phrase that I have read many times, that I do not know its author, but that puts my feet on the ground and awakens in me a great gratitude:
Remember when you prayed for what you now have?
And it is that when I come across this phrase I feel my eyes open, I think of my profession, how much I wanted to be able to enter university, then I think of the wonderful moment in which I was able to graduate, the magnificent job I had, and in which I met this splendid man who became my husband, I see my children, and it provokes me to hug them with strength and tenderness, because all this has been God's answer to my prayers, and I have been living the happiness that I dreamed so much, and I have to admit that sometimes my attitude in everyday life has clouded my ability to enjoy it.
So while dreaming and working on my new goals, I have learned that I can enjoy, live and feel happiness on the way to achieving them.
Part of my goals is to continue growing in Hive, and as part of the process I share with you that today I was able to do my second Power Up.
