I never thought that happiness had so much sadness

The world will break your heart in every way imaginable. That is guaranteed and I cannot explain it, nor can the madness that I carry inside nor the madness that others carry. Life is never fair but you have to roll with the punches and move on. And when you have a broken heart you will have to build it again and, not only that, you will have to trust again and this is the most difficult part. Despite all this, even if life breaks all your illusions, you must continue dreaming, do you know why? Because if you don’t get excited, because if you don’t dream, because if you don’t love, what kind of life will you be living? Why do you want a life if you are not taking advantage of it? You can’t live in fear all your life. Life is like that: you fall, you get up and you fall again. But, if you don’t even move for fear of falling, in reality, you have already sunk.

The good side of things

I have come across people in life who He has not known how to build with the stones that were in his path. Instead, they stumbled or were carried on their backs. I have done it too.

In fact, as Benedetti said, I never thought that happiness had so much sadness. Rather, I believed that it was the opposite, that happiness was a bed of roses without thorns and not of stones or impossible paths.

But I was wrong, and you only begin to understand that when you are prepared to be happy. Happiness involves sufferingit is a strange condition because only the strong resist it.

How ironic, right? The truth is that it is not so strange to think that happiness implies fulfillment, that It is an emotional balance that also requires sadness and obstacles.

That is why today I am convinced that I need sadness and pain to do everything I set my mind to. It is a sin not to take advantage of the effort involved in recovering after a fall.

I’m not going to lie to you, I haven’t always gotten up after my falls and I think it’s the most natural thing in the world. It is precisely from the defeat of what I have learned the mostbecause being enveloped in darkness has made me realize that it is truly worth getting up even if the storm has devastated us.

After all, You can’t see the rainbow without a little rain. I think that the fact that I have realized this makes me a lucky person and of course life has treated me with consideration by giving me lessons.

In other words, I have come to the conclusion that on our path both good and bad go hand in hand. And that is not at all negative, but necessary.

In fact, the most wonderful things in the world are wrapped in that rawness: after life comes death and with it a farewell, love is protected from madness but even heartbreak can win the battle and the most wonderful moments also end.

This is precisely what makes it special. We have to pay attention to the signs to be able to see when life gives us our moment. And, if we believe that we should see or do something, we feel the need to continue looking for the best way to do it.

Never stop doing something for fear of losingRemember that in happiness there is also sadness and that it is not a price that we have to pay, but rather it is something that we have to compensate.

If we fall, let it be because we are walking new paths.
