They taught us to be good, but not happy !!

Be good!

Be good with your brother, be good with your mother, your father, your neighbor, your uncle, your grandfather, your children, but think for a moment ……… someone ever told you : Be happy?

From very young we are receiving lessons from the world around us, based on the experiences of the people and you are depending on that knowledge they are transmitting it to other generations with the filters proper to their realities, his interpretations of reality who form the construct of their experiences as human beings in this earthly life.

What is reality?

Reality can not be referred to as absolute, but rather it is the sum of perceptions that coincide in an interpretation around a situation. Green is a shade of the infinite range of grays that exist between the presence of light and the absence of it, a great majority of people call color the Green, that particular tonality a minority perceives as Red, these people have a different perception because of a condition of their receiving organs of that information, but that shade is taken as Green because most people perceive it that way, however, this assertion is not absolute, since there are specific conditions that allow us to see the world in a different way.

The measure of success

With the example of “color” I try to explain the filters we have to process and filter the information we receive. Study to be someone in life, just to be born we are already someone in this life, what we study or not, are only tools for life that allow us to develop talents and special gifts that we all have, but society usually measures personal success based on the monthly income you have, but does not measure it by personal satisfaction and contribution to the world that does what you do, whether it’s painting pictures, sweeping streets or preaching the word, I think the Success can only be associated with the degree of happiness that gives you what you do. Because if you do it with passion, with love, you grow with each result, and this fills you with energy and joy, in case you achieved success. Mother Teresa of Calcutta succeeded and much in her life, she did not enjoy material goods or vanities of the earthly world, she gave her life to the service of God and helped everyone who could, especially the most destitute, the poor and the the sick people in the most abandoned places of the earth … all that he did with love, with passion, giving his grain of sand, his contribution to the change of world-wide thinking with respect to the most afflicted ones, I’m sure he was happy do it … it succeeded !!

Just be happy

So why do we insist so much on being good and not happy? From today teach your children, your friends, to those who can, to look inside yourself for what really makes them full, that for each day provide those moments of happiness, because happiness is a state, a special moment where the senses perceive a reality that generates a series of chemical reactions in our body, that release the specific substances that give that pleasant sensation of well-being what we call happiness; when we receive a child for the first time in our arms, when we give ourselves that kiss with the beloved one, when we receive a recognition, or just when we have a cup of coffee in the morning, that perfect moment that you do not want to end ……..let’s try to make sure that those moments are many every day, recognizing them at every moment and enjoying them to the fullest

Be good, but beyond this affirmation, be happy !!!!
