We are all looking for happiness. For something that makes us happy, no matter what. That thing you expect to see or to happen everyday. But it does not always come in the right moment. Sometimes, you have to wait for a lifetime to find something that could make you happy.
Happiness is restrained by different reasons. Environment, or social reasons, and especially fear. Why are we afraid ? I believe we are afraid of mistakes, truth and the unknown. We are afraid to take chances, maybe because we are not self-confident. We do not know how strong we are, we do not know our ability to resolve things. We miss different occasions, because of the questions “what if… ?”, “what about now ?”, “if I… ?” I truly believe that some of the best decisions are made in a hurry. I do believe that taking chances leads us to happiness.
This kind of fear is found in the Oscar-awarded movie “The King’s Speech”. The king has stammering problems and he is afraid of taking the risk of working hard to solve his problem. That fear prevented him from being happy, because of his “job”. That fear made him wait for many years, before accepting any help.
Fear is our enemy. So let’s face fear ! It does not have to control our lives. Let’s stop thinking “what if… ?” and face reality. Take risks. Listen to your mind and soul, too. Don’t be afraid to fail; failure is good. And finally, trust yourself. That’s the key to happiness.
