It is SO human to be expecting for the right moment to do the move of our lives, to take that vital decision and complete what has been left to be happy. Yes. When we are in the midst of an adverse situation we usualy believe that circumstances have to be some how self-aligned in order that we decide to be brave and keep going forward.
Listen close- It seemed like if happiness depended on what happens! But it must not be like this. YOUR happiness must depend ONLY on what YOU think. Happiness is not based on what happens but rather on how you interpret a given situation.
I recall that chapter from the fascinanting book from Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra, “Don Quijote de la Mancha”, in which he is traveling mounting his horse “Rocinante”. Don Qujote comes to a certain point in which he finds these huge wind mills.
Don Qujote then wrongly interpret these wind mills are giants attacking him! He starts “fighting” these “giants” and he sincerily believes he is going to beat them. Quijote is fighting them to give honor to Dulcinea, his muse.
I do not need to mention the fact that his spear becomes broken and his body harmed -as well as his pride!- after trying to stab the “giants” with his middle ages spear and having fallen from Rocinante!
Ask your self- Am I fighting wind mills in my life? Am I interpreting some how these present opportunities to grow as problems to keep me out of focusing the real goals of my life?
You and ONLY you have the true answer. Have you been lately fighting “giants” in your family, job or else?
Wake up and realize that being happy will depend only in how you interpret what is going in your life!
I want to encourage you -and my self! – with this last quote from my friend Marcel Proust – “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”.
Shift your state of mind and find happiness right away!!
