It is said that the only people that are truly happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love. For example, let’s take the people that exactly right now, are out in the streets of Bucharest being brave enough to try demolishing our country’s government, by asking their long-forgotten needs and rights. The shouts are not only about being fed up of injustice, but of hope and love of our country in which we still believe and we don’t want to give up. We are witnessing a revolution of heart, and we will win.
I read recently a book about a man at the high peak of his career, who, at the first glimpse, had it all –fame, money, women, but who suddenly lost his health. At that moment, he decided he needed a change, and the book was basically about his change, The Change that most of the people need to make at some point in their lives, to wake up and realize life is much more than the material things and that happiness is to be pursued and found, by any means of courage, within ourselves first.
Books are great to be read, but life itself gives you plenty of lessons and makes you understand that if you want to achieve great things, like a real marriage, a job that makes you happy, a healthier body and a younger mind, etc, above all, you need courage.
Courage is almost like a religion: the more you practice it, the better results you get in return. As if God taps you friendly on the shoulder, saying “Way to go, man!”.
Don’t be afraid to leave the comfort zone, don’t fool yourself that a mediocre straight-line life is all you need, run away from what’s shallow and open your eyes, wake up, break your boundaries, dare to dream and live the way you want to. We are more than we think we are, and the power to accomplish our every setting goal is unlimited.
And no matter how hard it is to make the first step, whether it’s giving up, literally, to eating boxes of chocolates, or leaving behind an unsuited relationship, or an unfulfilling job, or even going out in the streets talking about a revolution in your country, after some healing time passes, you will be gratefully happy for the change you took. Being afraid, not trying and not finding the courage in you, is worse than failure itself.
We owe it to ourselves and to the Universe to be happy. What are you waiting for, Cristina?
