Since we began to have use of reason, we pretend to believe that to be happy we have to set goals and dreams, so we spent a lifetime.
Example of it is me, I have always traced and set goals of my life, I started believing that I would be happy, when I have managed to graduate from school, and yet that happiness lasted little, after two months achieve it, I was able to enter the university, so I spent the five years of the race with the same mentality of believing that I would be happy, only when I got to graduate and managed to obtain my college degree, but when I had to launch myself into a working world full of good professionals looking for a job, I understood that a title would not make me happy and I had to leave the comfort of my home in my hometown of Cumana, Venezuela, to be able to practice my profession in the city of Caracas.
Coincidentally, I always set a goal to believe that I would be happy when I got my first job and practice my profession, but as time went on I noticed that it was just another job, if one like any other with only other responsibilities; When I realized that my salary was already insufficient, I began to believe again that I would be happy believing that an increase would work for me; but as always when the time comes for such increase, my happiness was not yet the expected, it only lasted a short time, I always wanted to keep looking and thinking that I could be happy.
In the course of my days at work, i discovered that it was not like the beginning, Well yes and seeing that I could not get something new or productive for me, that the happiness in that job was over, so I started looking for new opportunities,
and this is how I came to another company that, in spite of everything, offered me better benefits for my stability.
At present I am very calm because despite everything I am exercising my profession and filling my CV with experiences, the most important thing for me in this stage of my life, but I return to the usual theme and I keep insisting on wanting to be happy with something else and I put on a thought that I can be happy again when I buy a car , when I have my own house , when I have my first marriage , when I have a child , when I am an entrepreneur and I manage to start my own business and be my own boss , when after forming my family my children grow up, graduate, get married and give me a grandchild.
Really, which is the reason why the human being always believes in relying on the ideology of being happy when he manages to achieve everything that I think is necessary to be happy, knowing that all this is inculcated by society.
It is important to always ask yourself When can you really be happy? , because, if we know that we have plenty of reasons to be happy, we are still waiting for some future moment to believe it, so it is better to live in the present and not leave anything we cling to nothing, it's just a matter of valuing every moment that life gives you without pretending to believe that happiness has to be sought in situations that you may not know if they will really make you happy.
I invite you to analyze yourself and give me your opinion
