Desde la era industrial en adelante surgieron grandes cambios que conllevo a confundir felicidad con posesiones materiales, se empezó a vender la idea que mientras más se tenía más feliz podía llegar a ser, entonces las sociedades se abocaron en brindar bienestar a través de los bienes y servicios, que por cierto no está mal en tener calidad de ellos, lo importante es no confundirlo con sentirnos bien porque sí, sin tener que depender de un bien material.
Tal confusión nos ha privado de las infinitas oportunidades de regocijarnos de los pequeños momentos que la vida nos va regalando pesar de no tener muchas posesiones materiales, se ha llegado a sostener la creencia que para ser hay que tener, desde una pareja guapa, elegante y bien portado, hasta una casa muy grande con infinidad de cosas, incluso de como un buen aspecto físico nos puede dar felicidad.
Un momento de alegría capto justo cuando mi sobrino se encontraba en el epicentro de una piñata
Ahora bien, como una mortal común y corriente también llegue a pensar que mi felicidad consistía en tener cosas me identificaba con mis posesiones, me dejaba llevar por los anuncios publicitarios que siempre te van indicando que es lo que hará feliz si lo adquieres, era una consumista.
Igualmente, llegue a pensar que la felicidad era tener el peso y talla que dictaba la moda, para ello hacía dieta estaba pendiente de la balanza para ver cuánto pesaba, siempre mi mirada estaba allá afuera, vivía totalmente desconectada de mí.
Los encuentros familiares siempre me brindan momentos de felicidad
Para ese entonces, la felicidad se me era esquiva o al menos así lo sentía ya que las cosas que tenía a mí alrededor no me brindaban lo que yo quería o duraba muy poco porque lo buscaba en las posesiones. Sin embargo, en ese trayecto también pude observar que existían cosas muy sencillas y simples que al experimentarla me hacía estar feliz.
Por lo tanto, me aboque a procurar más de eso que me hacía estar feliz, como conducir mí automóvil por las calles semivacías de la ciudad un día domingo para contemplarla sin el ajetreo diario, efectuando labores que me gustan y me dan placer como hacer postres o realizar alguna actividad donde la inventiva me lleve a crear algo nuevo.
Ahora me ejército para estar saludables y no para poseer el cuerpo más atractivo y esbelto con el abdomen más plano que nunca logre, sino para sentirme bien conmigo misma eso me da felicidad.
Con el tiempo me he percatado que no necesito mucho para ser felices, pero es mi responsabilidad enfocarme en realizar toda aquella acción acompañada de pensamientos que me lleven a vivir con plenitud, con satisfacción propia, ya que incluso en un momento de profundo dolor he podido experimentar un estado de felicidad absoluta.
Solo tengo que elegirla diariamente, ya sea por instantes pero tenerla presente para sentirla, saborearla y saber que no están efímera o esquiva como a veces llegue a suponer, para ello me ayuda estar atenta a mis pensamientos y creencias las cuales me pueden sacar por momentos y con mucha facilidad del camino de la felicidad.
El secreto para la felicidad, no lo poseo porque cada uno de nosotros sabe cuáles son sus intereses, los dones y habilidades que desea desarrollar para compartirlos, para enriquecer al mundo con sus conocimientos de esta manera puede conectarse con lo que realmente lo hace feliz.

From the industrial era onwards great changes arose that led to confuse happiness with material possessions, it began to sell the idea that the more you had the happier you could be, then societies focused on providing welfare through goods and services, which certainly is not wrong to have quality of them, the important thing is not to confuse it with feeling good just because, without having to depend on a material good.
A moment of joy I caught just as my nephew was at the epicenter of a piñata.
Such confusion has deprived us of the infinite opportunities to rejoice in the small moments that life gives us despite not having many material possessions, we have come to hold the belief that in order to be we must have, from a beautiful, elegant and well-behaved partner, to a very large house with lots of things, even how a good physical appearance can give us happiness.

Family gatherings always bring me moments of happiness.
Now, as an ordinary mortal I also came to think that my happiness consisted in having things, I identified myself with my possessions, I let myself be carried away by the advertisements that always tell you what will make you happy if you acquire it, I was a consumerist.
Likewise, I came to think that happiness was to have the weight and size that fashion dictated, for that I was on a diet, I was watching the scales to see how much I weighed, my gaze was always out there, I lived totally disconnected from me.
At that time, happiness was elusive to me or at least that is how I felt because the things I had around me did not give me what I wanted or it lasted very little because I was looking for it in possessions. However, in that journey I was also able to observe that there were very simple and easy things that made me happy when I experienced them.
Therefore, I started to try more of what made me happy, like driving my car through the half-empty streets of the city on a Sunday to contemplate it without the daily hustle and bustle, performing tasks that I like and give me pleasure like making desserts or doing some activity where inventiveness leads me to create something new.

Now I fight to be healthy and not to have the most attractive and slender body with the flattest abdomen I ever achieved, but to feel good about myself and that gives me happiness.
Over time I have realized that I do not need much to be happy, but it is my responsibility to focus on performing every action accompanied by thoughts that lead me to live fully, with self-satisfaction, because even in a moment of deep pain I have been able to experience a state of absolute happiness.
I just have to choose it daily, even if it is for moments, but to have it present to feel it, savor it and know that it is not ephemeral or elusive as I sometimes suppose, for this it helps me to be attentive to my thoughts and beliefs which can take me at times and very easily out of the way of happiness.
The secret to happiness, I do not possess it because each of us knows what our interests are, the gifts and skills we wish to develop to share them, to enrich the world with our knowledge in this way we are able to connect with what really makes us happy.
