The perfect Picture

Are you continuing going through life worried about what you have not obtained yet? Are you continuing asking yourself, What have I missed through out the way? How much more longer do I have to keep trying to get there? To have it? To own it? To prove it?

If you feel an intense happiness and curiosity while you are going though these journey, then you are in the correct path my friend but if you are feeling rush, exhausted, alone, anger, disappointment, unhappy, sleepless, while you still trying to reach something that others have, something that it was a need of someone else and passed to you, forced to you like a child that is forced to play an specific sport or removed from learning it due to beliefs, culture, traditions, status, customs, etc.

But when reaching a mature stage of mind, no one thinks about the consequences. The resentment you grow within when you have not obtaining it yet or just the fact of not living a certain way that was taught to you or expected for you.

You bought all this beliefs, ideas and made them yours, compromise with the "Perfect Picture" desired from someone else and you forgot to be you, to reach for your own "Perfect Picture"

What is right or what is wrong? who knows!

But does it give you peace? Does it make you happy?

Through the journey, we can get disconnected from what its really important while reaching for our goals... and we are not informed or talked about this as we grow which is "Equilibrium" a balance to maintain, what we truly want for our selves and what is expected from us (specially in my Hispanic community) otherwise we get lost and loose what will bring us happiness.

Honoring our parents and their parents and their parents is a beautiful & respectful act although, if you are living someone else dream/life... you are completely disconnected from yourself, from your own "Gift of Life" which is "Your Happiness"

And this is my favorite part... It doesn't matter how old are you now or your status just Reconnect with your self again.

It is in your center... Your Heart!

Place your hands in your heart and breath and in every heart's bit thank your blessings, every new day it is a blessing, a second opportunity to try or to start over again...
