Happy evening to all of you who make up this great community, I greet you affectionately. Today I am a little reflective, and it is that a few days ago something happened to me that led me to ask myself an important question; I meditated on whether I am truly happy, am I really happy? I consider that I am a person with vision, with goals and objectives; and I have reinforced that more since I got married and have a daughter, because I think I struggle to make my family feel that everything is fine, that everything is under control. I think it is one of the responsibilities I have as a father and husband; but I felt a little tired of the routine, I went to bed to rest and I started to think a lot about some things I have proposed to myself and I have not achieved them, so I thought that when I achieve those goals I set I would feel happy about it. At the moment I felt like my dreams were already frustrated, so I asked myself if I was living a happy life.
Debo aclarar que no me hice la pregunta por no estar satisfecho con mi esposa y mi hija, era algo que debía hacer, creo que todo ser humano debe tomar momentos de su vida y hacer auto-análisis para ver como va todo, si está tomando buenas decisiones, para verificar si está actuando bien con los demás, y muy importante, si estamos pensando en nosotros. Es muy importante preguntarnos en cada etapa de nuestras vidas ¿soy feliz de verdad? o estoy aparentando que todo está bien, a veces fingimos que tenemos el control de todo, que no nos preocupa el futuro, aprendemos a disimular, y muchas veces detrás de nuestras risas escondemos miedos, incertidumbre, preocupación, y nos olvidamos de que el tiempo pasa, y nos podríamos estar acostumbrando a esperar tiempos mejores para ser verdaderamente felices.
I must clarify that I did not ask myself the question because I was not satisfied with my wife and daughter, it was something I had to do, I believe that every human being should take moments of his life and do self-analysis to see how everything is going, if he is making good decisions, to verify if he is acting well with others, and very important, if we are thinking about ourselves. It is very important to ask ourselves at every stage of our lives, am I really happy or am I pretending that everything is fine, sometimes we pretend that we have control of everything, that we are not worried about the future, we learn to dissimulate, and many times behind our laughter we hide fears, uncertainty, worry, and we forget that time passes, and we could be getting used to wait for better times to be truly happy.
En serio les digo, no es fácil vivir al 100% felices en países con situaciones complicadas como las de mi país (Ven). Pero no voy a tocar temas políticos; en fin, si nos ponemos a esperar tener todo lo que nos proyectamos para decir "ya soy feliz" entonces estaríamos perdiendo el tiempo, desaprovecharíamos lo valioso que tenemos, a esas personas que son un complemento en nuestras vidas. Yo me hice esa pregunta, pero reflexioné, que aunque no he logrado algunos de mis objetivos planteados, otros sí los he logrado, entre ellos está el tener a mi esposa y a mi hija, y ellas son parte importante de mi. Ellas son suficientes para yo sentirme feliz, las metas son importantes porque me impulsan a seguir luchando para lograrlas, pero mientras tanto debo valorar lo que tengo, lo que ya he logrado es muestra de que los sueños se cumplen cuando nos esforzamos, por ejemplo, años atrás compartía el sueño con mi esposa de poder tener nuestra propia casita, y con mucho esfuerzo lo logramos; esos logros me hacen sentir feliz, tener a mi hija y que esté creciendo como una niña saludable me reconforta, el jugar cada noche con ella un rato antes de acostarnos a dormir, el cocinar con mi esposa así yo no sepa mucho, eso es vivir feliz para mi.
Seriously I tell you, it is not easy to live 100% happily in countries with complicated situations like those in my country (Ven). But I am not going to touch political issues; in short, if we wait to have everything we project ourselves to say "I am already happy" then we would be wasting our time, we would be wasting the valuable things we have, those people who are a complement in our lives. I asked myself that question, but I reflected that although I have not achieved some of my goals, I have achieved others, among them is having my wife and my daughter, and they are an important part of me. They are enough for me to feel happy, the goals are important because they push me to keep fighting to achieve them, but meanwhile I must value what I have, what I have already achieved is proof that dreams come true when we make an effort, for example, years ago I shared the dream with my wife to have our own little house, and with much effort we achieved it; Those achievements make me feel happy, having my daughter and that she is growing up as a healthy child comforts me, playing with her every night before going to sleep, cooking with my wife even if I don't know much, that is living happily for me.
Para mi el ser feliz de verdad, no es una apariencia, no debe ser una fachada. Tampoco debemos esperar tener todo lo anhelado para decir "ya puedo ser feliz", de hecho puede que no logremos todo lo que soñamos en la vida, entonces bajo ese enfoque nunca seríamos felices. No esperemos que los tiempos sean mejores, valoremos más lo que ya tenemos. Ser feliz de verdad no es un sueño imposible, sólo debemos tener paciencia, esfuerzo y fe de que sí lo podemos lograr. Hay quienes viven felices porque ya se graduaron, otros porque se casaron, algunos por tener a su primer hijo, otros por estar solteros en un departamento, lo que sí es cierto es que si existe la felicidad de verdad, sólo que la podemos sentir si valoramos más el camino sin perder el enfoque del destino.
For me, being truly happy is not an appearance, it should not be a façade. Nor should we expect to have everything we desire to say "I can be happy now", in fact we may not achieve everything we dream of in life, then under that approach we would never be happy. Let's not wait for better times, let's value more what we already have. Being truly happy is not an impossible dream, we just need to have patience, effort and faith that we can achieve it. There are those who live happily because they graduated, others because they got married, some for having their first child, others for being single in an apartment, what is certain is that true happiness does exist, we can only feel it if we value the road more without losing the focus of destiny.
