Imagine that you have a magical house that provides you with everything you need when you need it: food, water, electricity, comfort, even company, without having to go outside to look for it. Just imagine it ...
Well, now imagine that one day while you are enjoying your magical house, a person comes to knock on your door and very kindly you open it and invite him to enter it to share everything that your magical house can offer without limits.
That person begins to enjoy everything that your magic house offers him, but one day he tells you that he should go and asks you if you want to go with her and leave the magic house forever since she can offer you the same as a condition of that you leave your house forever and become his slave. What would you do?
Of course you would say no, because you already have all that in your magical house and without having to become anyone's slave, therefore you would rather invite him to stay and enjoy without any conditions.
Ahora yo te digo que, lo mismo sucede con la felicidad.
Now i tell you, same thing happens with happiness.
Most of us were born and raised in a society and in families characterized by certain criteria and quite accentuated regulations regarding how life should be, criteria and regulations that were transferred from generation to generation and finally our parents also taught us since it was what they also knew.
The truth is that among these criteria were found, for the vast majority, the beliefs that achieving certain things (material or not) were necessary to be happy. In the same way that the idea was found that being with a person can bring you happiness. However, we become unhappy individuals pursuing a happiness that never came, when it was really always there.
Like the magic house, we ourselves have the ability to provide ourselves with that happiness, support and comfort that we so desperately seek, when we recognize ourselves completely, the search ceases and with it enjoyment appears. The enjoyment of what? The enjoyment of life.
What we vehemently sought before and which led us to do even things that we did not like ceases to exist and is replaced by the pleasure of undertaking activities or setting goals for ourselves for the mere pleasure and satisfaction of ourselves, without expecting something from others and even without matter whether or not it is acceptable to others. In this way, the goals cease to be goals and the path laid out begins to be of interest, one begins to enjoy the route regardless of the results.
