Your Way to Happiness this New Year

At the beginning of the year, while I was holding the new year’s party, I found myself wondering about what this new year will give me. I looked around and I saw my family and friends talking about their expectations and dreams for this new year. Some of them at the time the clock indicated 12 run outside with their suitcase wearing a fancy red or yellow underwear wishing that this new year will be full of trips, wealth and love. Everyone of them had their own way of opening this new year.

What I always observe is that everyone is happy, motivated and ready to open and start this new year, but as soon as the time starts running people start getting bored, disappointed, irresponsible and full of negative ideas or perceptions. Let’s look at the picture: On January gym owners get rich because people usually decide to join the gym because this time they are willing to loose weight and be healthy. And at the middle of the year most of them are gone, they drop their dream. We swear that this year we will treat others as we want to be treated, but as much as we try we usually end up treating good at the people we like, and lets be honest, that is easy ! that is not a challenge!.. Then we say that we will handle and try to find a way to solve our problems but as soon as we find some obstacles we follow the easiest way of solving it, not the correct one, which might be the most difficult one.

Anyway, we usually get lost in the way to happiness and success. But there is something we always have to remember, there is no good or right decisions, the actions that follow them are the ones which point toward the way we live. We must remember that we don’t always get everything of our Christmas list, but we gotta find a way to understand the scenario that makes our life happier and better everyday. As soon as we find it, we will learn that everything is about loving ourselves and sharing our love to others. When we love each other we look for the best for us and for the ones who surround us, and we don’t waste time in hurting other people feelings. We will be bigger if we give more, if we love more.

Remember too, "Success is getting up one more time than you fall down." And please, do not give too much emphasis in success or failure, people progress through their efforts and work. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. You just have to enjoy the ride, every moment that you live, and stop worrying about wining. You just have to worry about giving your best, learning from the experience and taking advantage of every situation.

Albert Einstein once said: "Significant problems you face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." So, keep your mind focused, and be creative and mostly, be yourself, work your mind and exercise your body.

Every year has to be better, and you must find the thing, person, objective or whatever you call it that will keep you alive, fighting for a dream. We have to reach for something when we think that it is nothing else, find a dream we can follow.

Any moment everything can change, we can feel the weight of the world on our shoulders but we have to learn to adapt to the new situations, to open up our hidden selves. We need to be able to let go on our yesterdays and forget about the reasons that say that we CAN`T in life and we must start to try. We always start with a No, So, we don’t loose anything if we try to look the yes.

Don’t give up, you know you better than everyone else, so fight for what you want. And this new year find and live better because that will bring you happiness, and therefore you will succeed in this life.
