True Essence Of Life

It seems that the essence of life is the pursuit of happiness or so people say. Well, in life things go well or go wrong, there is no middle ground. If everything goes well, you'll be happy. No problem.

At certain times in life, especially during adolescence and early youth, we will have wondered about our mission in this world. The answers to each one will be very different: success professionally, acquiring a fortune, leading a peaceful and smooth life, creating a family, and intensely enjoying everything that exists around me.

In short, behind these specific desires is a clear objective: to try to be happy, according to the idea that each one has about what happiness is.

As for whether they go wrong, two aspects must be qualified. If by the evil we mean setbacks or adversity to a greater or lesser degree, the essence is to prevent and try to avoid as much as possible the emergence of this.

And I say "as much as possible" because it is often in our power to proactively avoid some setbacks as soon as we reflect and make decisions wisely. Therefore we must work in that line so as not to complicate our lives unnecessarily.

But since we cannot avoid, no matter how much we think, the appearance of some setbacks and it is logical that we commit failures that bother and bother us, what is appropriate is to learn to manage those that come to us either because of us or because of external agents that exceed our control and personal power.

Management seems very difficult and here I propose some clues to facilitate it within certain limits. It is advisable not to focus too much or too much time on anger or pain, on the absurd or on the complaint, but to try to put the negative event in a broader context, such as knowing that in this life there are joys and sorrows inherent and inevitable to the fact of living and you have to count on them and wait for them.

It is also convenient to concentrate on other positive aspects so that setbacks do not absorb our total attention and distress us. It is convenient to know how to fit them in style to be prepared for others who, without a doubt, will surprise us until the end of the tour. It is convenient not to allow these setbacks to ruin our desire to live or our daily performance.

It is convenient to divide them into parts and face the partial solution of all of them. Many or all of them can be magnified or minimized or simply given due importance.

The magnification of its importance leads to distress, anxiety, stress and depression and that is not healthy. And it is convenient to learn and draw conclusions and see positive aspects that undoubtedly contain.

If we act in this way, there is no doubt that it will diminish our pain in fair proportions and we will not save suffering, which is what it is about, because it already exists in life in abundance.

The desire to excel and rise above others is a powerful motivator for many people. What they don't realise is how pleasant it is to achieve success without feeling superior to others.

Life must be lived for oneself and have purposes that make oneself proud.

A glorious defeat is worth more than a lacklustre victory." Everyone has their goals, and their purposes in life, but whether or not they are achieved, the path and learning from mistakes are more valuable than reaching the goal.

Sometimes, we discover halfway through what we really want, and the important thing is to find out before we reach the goal and realize that, after having travelled all the way, we are not happy.

Happiness and feeling good about yourself play very important roles in our lives, whether you are an editor, a professional athlete or a street sweeper. If you're passionate about it, go ahead; don't let others judge you without really knowing your preferences.
