Just relax and be happy

   If we want to be happy and feel good about ourselves we need to find enough time in our life to have fun and just relax. Sometimes we just work too much and think only about the things we have to do that we can´t remember when was the last time we had few hours just for ourselves. What it feels like to forget about everything for a while and just to clear our head and do something that helps us to recharge our energy.

   We all have our different way of relaxing, each of us enjoys something else. I think that if we could find just one hour every day to do what we like it would makes us feel good and happier. We waste a lot of time doing meaningless things like watching TV or staring at the screen of our computer, so why not just do something that makes sense for a change. 

   For me there is one thing I love more than anything else in the world. It helps me relax so much and makes me feel great. It´s the sea. Just going to the beach and listening to the waves. Sitting or laying down, feeling the sand under you and relaxing. Feeling the sun and the heat. When I close my eyes and imagine it I almost feel like being there... Jumping into the waves and swimming or snorcheling, walking down the beach or running.

   Of course it would be great to spend all day every day like this, but even for a few hours it´s great. Maybe one day I will buy a house on the beach and will be able to watch the sea every morning when i get up and every night before I go to sleep. That would be a dream come true...

Being happy

   Happiness... Something we all want so much. They say money can´t buy you happiness. That´s true. I know people who have loads of money but they aren´t happy. Money can definately make your life easier but the rest is up to you. I think it´s more about the fact that some people just don´t want to be happy. The only person that is standing between them and happiness is themselves. They always find something to complain about. Happiness is a choice. Of course nothing is ever perfect but it´s about our thinking and the way we look at things. It´s important to keep a positive attitude. Of course everyone feels a bit down sometimes, that´s normal. But we can work on being happy.

   It all comes from inside. As long as we feel good about ourselves and the way we live our life, there´s no reason why we shouldn´t be happy. If we don´t, we need to ask ourselves why and start working on changing those things. We are all masters of our destinies. We only have one life and it´s up to us how we are going to live it. We can do anything we set our mind to if we really want. We have to go for our dreams. Making those dreams come true will make us happy. Of course we have to be realistic but if we set ourselves reasonable goals we can do it. We can achieve anything if we really try.

   Sometimes things aren´t going to be the way we want, we can´t always win. We can only do our best. When that happens we need to realise that some things aren´t just meant to be and that there is a reason for that. We need to let them go and after some time has passed we would now it was for better things to come.

   Everyone can be happy and life is too short to waste any day of it. As Paulo Coelho says: "No one can go back but everyone can go forward. And tomorrow, when the sun rises, all you will have to say to yourself is: I am going to think of this day as the first day of my life."
