Today many people live in a deep sadness and depression, it seems that their lives have lost meaning, for these people there is no reason to smile, to appreciate the good and wonderful that life offers us at every moment, for them happiness does not exist, it is a utopia, it is something they will never be able to achieve.

Sin embargo, al observar la vida de estas personas me detengo a pensar, que la felicidad, en mi caso no está determinada por la cantidad de dinero que hay en mi cuenta bancaria incluso si es que hay, en los bienes materiales como la casa o el vehículo, en la cantidad de estudios que he acumulado, en los idiomas que hablo y ni siquiera la determinan las personas que llegan o salen de mi vida. Para mí la felicidad es una actitud y una decisión.
However, when I observe the lives of these people I stop to think that happiness, in my case, is not determined by the amount of money in my bank account, even if there is any, in material goods such as a house or a car, in the amount of studies I have accumulated, in the languages I speak and not even determined by the people who come or go out of my life. For me happiness is an attitude and a decision.
El día que decidí ser feliz ante cualquier circunstancia lo hice en medio de una fuerte tormenta que amenazaba con arrasar de mi existencia todo, lo mucho o poco que tenía, y en medio del caos me detuve un instante para pensar en lo que estaba haciendo y porque estaba permitiendo que los factores externos determinaran si yo debía ser feliz o no. En ese instante respire profundo una y otra vez, cerré mis ojos y me concentre en mi propia vida, me vi a mí misma en medio de aquella situación y como me marchitaba en medio de querer complacer a todos y de alcanzar todo menos aquello que era verdaderamente importante, ser feliz por mí y para mí.
The day I decided to be happy in any circumstance I did it in the middle of a strong storm that threatened to sweep everything from my existence, the much or little I had, and in the middle of the chaos I stopped for a moment to think about what I was doing and why I was allowing external factors to determine whether I should be happy or not. At that moment I took a deep breath again and again, closed my eyes and concentrated on my own life, I saw myself in the middle of that situation and how I was withering away in the midst of wanting to please everyone and to achieve everything but what was truly important, to be happy for me and for me.

No piensen que este ejercicio de felicidad es un acto egoísta, por el contrario egoísta es querer cumplir las metas, expectativas, sueños e ideales de otros. Ser feliz se sustenta en abrazar tus capacidades y potencialidades, en sentir que tienes las riendas de tu vida cada nuevo día, es comenzar una y mil veces por mí y todo aquello que amo y adoro hacer y ser. Ser feliz es alejar lo toxico de mi entorno, es aceptar que quien desee estar junto a mi será para compartir y sumar. Ser feliz es decidir que cada momento es un valioso tesoro y que no voy a perderlo en situaciones que me causan estrés y ansiedad.
Do not think that this exercise of happiness is a selfish act, on the contrary, it is selfish to want to fulfill the goals, expectations, dreams and ideals of others. Being happy is based on embracing your capabilities and potential, on feeling that you have the reins of your life every new day, it is starting over and over again for me and all that I love and adore to do and be. To be happy is to remove the toxic from my environment, is to accept that whoever wants to be with me will be to share and add. To be happy is to decide that every moment is a valuable treasure and that I will not lose it in situations that cause me stress and anxiety.
Ser feliz es una actitud que nos impulsa de forma sana a crear nuestro de paz y el bienestar, ser feliz es tener la certeza que no son los bienes materiales los que te hacen grande, que tu camino hacia el éxito no se compone de personas ni bienes materiales que exigen de ti el sacrificio y la esclavitud. Ser feliz no se trata de complacer a otros y sus exigencias, ser feliz es estar bien con tu propia existencia, es abrazarte cada día y decirte la maravillosa y valiosa persona que eres. Ser feliz es decidir que las riendas de tu vida dependen de la salud de tus pensamientos y el brillo de tu alma y ello sólo depende de ti.
Being happy is an attitude that drives us in a healthy way to create our peace and well-being, being happy is to be certain that it is not material goods that make you great, that your path to success is not made up of people or material goods that demand sacrifice and slavery from you. To be happy is not about pleasing others and their demands, to be happy is to be okay with your own existence, it is to embrace yourself every day and tell you what a wonderful and valuable person you are. To be happy is to decide that the reins of your life depend on the health of your thoughts and the brightness of your soul and that depends only on you.
