If I ask you: “what do you want in your life?” The most probable answer is a list of wishes…of things that you do not have. Very few people would answer: “to continue having a great health”…

We, as human beings, we tend to ask for what we do not have or want. And after we have it, we continue asking for more things. Is like an endless list of wanting…

Wanting is not bad. It is not bad if it does not lead you to be in discomfort on what you have. For example: you may want a better job, a different partner, other type of vacations. But if you compare them with your reality…you’ll get frustrated and be in discomfort.

The result: unhappiness and not living the moment, your reality, your life, as it should be.

Have you forgotten what you have right now? Think of this: are you healthy? Do you have a family? Can you afford to buy anything you want as a meal? Do you have a place to live in? Do you have a reliable friend to call when you feel bad, upset? Are your loved ones healthy?

If the answer to these questions is a “yes”, you can say that you are one of the bless people in the world. You have a great luck by being healthy, as your family and friends. You are blessed to have a roof, a bed to sleep. You are privileged to have the option to choose what you want to eat without limits… And you are lucky to have someone to talk to; either your family or friends, who are there when you need them…in bad moments or sharing the joy of great news.

​So next time you feel that there is an empty in your life…or you feel sad…ask yourself this: “Have I forgotten how lucky I am to be alive and surrounded by these circumstances?

The first step to be happy is to accept yourself as you are. It sounds easy, but it is not.

Accepting oneself means saying: "Yes, I did it"... "Yes, that's the way I am" and in many cases we want time to erase what we did...hoping that moment has not been recorded to never remember it again... or we highlight something additional so nobody realizes who we really are.

But life is like internet: everything we are and do remains engraved. For better or for worse, there it is. And no matter how much we want to turn the other way around, do like it didn’t happen... the fact remains. Hence, accepting how you are requires courage and honesty to say: "That’s how I am."

If you find it hard to take that step, think: everyone, absolutely everyone (yes, even that person you admire) make mistakes, we lose our heads at some point, we say things without thinking, we fail in the goals we set, or in not repeating what we did. And we hide everything that shames us... that labels us as "not perfect" before the judgment of society.

But guess that? The most important step to accept that you are not perfect is to accept that you are unique. As each person is unique, the value of each one is immeasurable, because it is not repeatable. Accepting yourself it's an individual process that not everyone will witness, but we will see that freedom reflected in you.

So, get rid of all those charges you have. Of all those expectations that others expect from you. First of all, it is you.

​If you do not accept yourself as you are, no matter how much someone loves you or wants to be with you, he/she won’t have the true version of you. And if you really want to be accepted and loved as you are, then accept how you really are...
