The hapiness of the good intentioned truth

Most of our worries usually come from the past, and a good share of those, were born from our own words. How many times we regret something we said,  get caught in a lie, or hurt someone with what we say? If we could just use the power of words, to keep the truth and with the best intention, we can avoid worries, sadness, regrets and taste the happiness of the honest truth.

Glasses in the nose

Have you ever seen someone looking for their reading glasses, and not perceiving they have them on their head, hand or hanging on the neck? That is very common, not only with glasses or keys, but with wishes.
Because of the hurry and speed of our lives, always running towards something that runs faster than us, we never stop to see if the ground we are standing over was what we were looking for in the first place, or is enough for what we were wishing.
Most of the times we already have what we want, but we think is not enough or we think we want something better, only because we did not give enough time to see how great it really was.
Stop! watch!

Time travel

It looks like a lot of people would prefer 1 day weeks.
I usually hear people hope for friday to arrive fast during the week.
On friday they do whatever they were expecting, or plan a lot of things for the weekend, and on saturday begin to worry that sunday is coming, because after sunday is the terrible monday again. And on monday, the loop continues.
Do not enjoy anything, hoping for X time to come, and as the X time moves and vanishes, try to jump or survive into another oasis day or time.
Life is all days and the whole time, instead of running away maybe is better to start enjoying all those daily miracles we miss looking so far ahead.

The power of granting our attention

There are a lot of facts, and there’s our decision on which to give our attention.
Do we focus on the mosquito or in the landscape? do we keep thinking on the guy that cut the line or in the show we are attending? Is it more important the car that closed our way or feeling healthy and warm while driving?
From all the possibilities, are we following what is better for us? if not, why? whol told us not to?

Hard choice

We can convince ourselves of anything we want to. Everything can be good or bad for us depending on the reasons we give ourselves. We manipulate the truth according to our short term wishes. But for true happiness, we should have the honesty tho do things we don’t want, because we know in the end is going to be good for us, and to decline things we want, but we know are going to cause suffering. Easy to say, hard to apply.

A dream for the future

What do we usually keep moving for the future instead of living it the whole time? Happiness, isn’t it?
I used to think and hear a lot of when I get, when I achieve, when we accomplish, when X arrives, etc. We keep pushing forward to be happy, generally after a milestone that will always have a new one when we get there, and that’s only if we get there.
We always have the chance to enjoy what we are doing, living, seeing, hearing, feeling but we forbid ourselves until…….?

Film and not photo

Everything is in constant movement, even ourselves. Each second things change: we are older, our hair grows, we burn calories, we know something else, the weather changes, we see something we haven’t seen from where we are standing, we step where we never stood before and so on. No second in our life will be the same as any other second, even if we wanted to repeat any second in our life, it’s impossible, at least time won’t be the same.
We are experiencing small changes that we almost can not perceive, but sometimes bigger changes occur even without our consent. We lose something or somebody, we are transferred to other cities, we get wet in the rain, we catch a cold, and so on.
So, if everything changes, and we can not control most of the changes, why we try to live like a photo forcing things to stand still? Our live is not a photo we like, is a film that is rolling, let’s see what comes next.
