There's something that changes us.

Something that comes from the bowels of the Universe, and at the right time shakes us.

We feel it with strangeness, with perplexity, but when the moment comes, we let ourselves go.

Everyone has their own way of experiencing change. Happened to me when I was 33 years old. There were several events that piled up and showed me new perspectives, new paths, new ways of seeing the world.

The world doesn't change, we change, and in a way the world changes with us.

Why did I change? How did I change?

Well first I think we all change because it's a universal law.

Everything changes except the change itself.

I changed because maybe I was fed up with doing what I don't like, because I spent enough time on the opposite side of the one that made me feel better about myself.

Sometimes it is by doing what we don't want that we better understand what we want and hence the desire for change. ​

We all share something in common: the desire to be happy, to be at ease with everything and everyone.

Does it depend on what we see around us?
From the circumstances?
From a country?
From a government?
How much money do we have?

If it depended, why there’s unhappy rich people? Why can a rainy day be terrible for many, but refreshing for others?

I believe that it is not the circumstances, but the way we react to everything around us that determines whether we are happy or not.

When I internalized this concept in my life and started to put it into practice, changes began to happen. I disconnected from everything that didn’t make me feel good, I walked away from bad energies, I stopped doing what I didn't want or like.

How can we expect to be happy doing something we don't like? Sometimes for 8 or more hours per day?

Just because we're going to receive the money we think is necessary to pay our expenses?

And who pays for the illnesses we develop due to the stress we accumulate?

The lost hours of sleep because we are thinking about the problems? That empty feeling we feel inside us despite the bank account being in good health?

What do we want to remember when we are on our deathbed?

The money in the bank? The customers we've made most satisfied because of a deal? The things we've accumulated?

I prefer the smiles, the good times I spent with those I loved, the feeling of adventure when travelling, the smells, the flavors, the hugs, the sensations of freedom of diving into the sea on a rainy day, of walking barefoot on the wet grass.

For all this, I gave up the fear I felt of venturing out, the prison that the system made me feel with all the rules and impositions and all those who anchored and pulled me down.

Life is made of experiences, so I want to have the best possible ones. And always doing what I like, when I like, with who I like.

I continue to have contrast in my life, I continue to face less pleasant situations in my life, however I try to react in a different way, to see the good side of each moment. Sometimes it is difficult, very difficult, and we need time to realize that, in some way, it helped us to grow, but there are many more good things in life than bad.

It is on these that I want to focus, because it is on those that I feel peace and well-being.
