Challenges make part of our life and it is good!

Well, there is a time in life that we must stop everything we are doing and do readjustments or simply restart…
If we look around, we will figure out the number of people who restart completely their life or did significant adjustments.
People who get married or who get divorced.
People who started to work with something absolutely new and different.
Or people who moved to another city or country… I could do a huge list, but I think you get what I mean. All of these situation completely change the lifestyle of a person.
These days have been the most difficult of my life and I am saying it because of the challenges I’m living.
To restart it is not easy because it is necessary to forget the old routine, habits and costumes for something new and unknown. Is it exciting? Yes, it is, but I must prepare myself for it or otherwise I’d suffer a lot. I left behind who I was and everything is now in a certain distance… I just kept my knowledge, my experience and my memories.
All I am trying to do is to be someone better, bigger and achieve the happiness I believe I deserve and improve my quality of life.
Well, this difficult moment teaches me all the time and I must be clever to not lose the lesson. Sometimes it’s so hard and stressful that I think I will not get it all. Nevertheless, I keep in mind that my happiness depends on it so I look inside of me and I find the strength to go on.
Something inside me was asking me to change all my habits, to leave comfort zone and move my life to begin again.
When I decided and chose this massive change in my life I thought the meaning of all and if I would be brave enough, ready and strong to do it all different. Perhaps more pleasant, effective and happy for me, but not easier.
I made a choice, it was difficult and I’m happy I have done it, because now I know the love by myself, also my maturity, courage to face my life and it showed me that I was able to do more than I imagined.
Now, I wish to myself: strength to overcome this step and start the next one. Luck, focus, improvement and no regret!

Happiness

Is there a recipe to happiness?

I don’t think so… At least I don’t believe that there’s a “prescription” like as in the hundreds of ready phrases listened about what to do to be happy. Sometimes I read tips telling about how to find your happiness… In my opinion it’s all bullshit, I think that the recipe to happiness was thrown away centuries ago, written in a dead language…

We are made of the same stuff, but we are unique in our body, soul, thoughts and this is the reason why our ideal of happiness is very different… Each person has its ideal of happiness.

For me, happiness is everything that makes my heart smile, that warms my soul, all that makes my body shine and everything that makes me thinks it worth… This could be do the right word in a difficult moment, a lost phrase in a song, a look, a smile, an act of kindness, a sincere hug, a kept promise or even when someone shows how important I am for this person, to love and be loved, a good movie, to be in peace with myself, affection, to stay with my friends, to share ideas, generosity, dance with somebody, to feel the wind in my hair, to overcome difficulties and a lot of things that I could write here until tomorrow.

Perhaps, this is my recipe to happiness that, in the future, can have more ingredients… And you, what is your recipe to happiness?

I’d like to know.

Experiences…

It’s always aggrandizing to prove something new, smell something different, new flavours and different temperatures… I ever try when I can.

Well, in my routine I search to feel some pieces of happiness, for me those pieces are: brigadeiro (a typical Brazilian candy made of condensed milk, cocoa and butter), cuddle, receive licks from a dog, endless kisses, to see the sunrise, to smile, dance, feel myself free,  to look at the stars and to help an unknown person… And I recommend you to try at least once in life.

But I can’t forget to say that to travel alone on holidays for me is a must (of course if the company is good, I do a concession).

And more important of this is: allow yourself to love, do plans, forgive, change your opinion, read more books, pray, believe, have friends, be patient, date someone, have fun, cry, dream, work, sleep, wake up, relax and be happy.

Live intensely!

What is half, what is full?

Little beer is still beer and you can drink it all or share this little with someone… And have a good moment or a piece of happiness.

Little missing is still missing, but you can endure it with a call or something like this… And have a good moment or a piece of happiness.

Little love, it’s nothing! Where’s the good moment? Where’s the happiness?

If you think that you’re happy being with a “more or less” love or a “better this than nothing”, well it’s time to be alone and think where’s your heart, where do you want to go, what do you want in life and if this is what you deserve, because the good moments in life are undoubtedly full of something that will impress in your mind and heart for the rest of your life and all the time you remember this moment you’re feel light and happy.

Don’t accept to live any feeling by half. Life is a breath, it goes so fast so we can’t let half entries… We must face them or hit them at once!
