Anyone who has read Lewis Carroll Alice recalled that most tried to walk directly to the house , she could see in the distance, the more frustrated he became further and further . It is only when she gave up the chase, she found herself walking in the door of the house to reach your goal.
Similarly, a few years ago in an interview on the radio , I heard a woman asked if her son was happy. " Who said that none of us has the right to be happy she said she felt weak at the moment - . A mother of two young children with a husband addicted to work, I could not understand why it would not necessarily Brimming with happiness, that has everything a woman could want and makes me think ..
Certainly was not happy, but he emphasizes that misfortune did not help . In fact , I became happier, because every day I was the descent that nobody did anything to improve my situation. I decided that it was true - happiness is not something I am entitled to do so. I could not trust anyone else to make me happy , and if I could not achieve happiness , unless we find a way to live with satisfaction.
I immediately felt less resentment and more power. It sounds like a cliché, but I count my blessings . I had the health, intelligence and two beautiful, so tiring children. We had a roof over our heads, enough food , education and health . Letting go of the sadness caused by the feeling of discontent was a huge release; a release of a load. I had the spare capacity to think and also save energy.
Life has improved since . I became more philosophical , I thought more about life , faith, the universe, the big questions of life. I volunteered to work in partnership with the local community and the Management Committee of the nursery. And could flex my brain and use skills that were less known as a mother . Meet people and be helpful and appreciated felt good too. As my children grew and became more independent, I started to work part time and it is added to my sense of self-esteem.
Meanwhile, I took the time to appreciate the simple things in life. The beauty of birdsong , the pleasure of growing vegetables in the garden , the smell of the earth, feel the sun on my skin.
I can not say that I have never felt weak or unfortunate since , but I guess what happened is that I grew up. I took control of my life , I looked outward rather than inward . My optimist prospered , and today I count myself as a very lucky and happy person .
