The stars say that we are the shooting ones

I’ve long since gotten tired of blowing dandelions, wishing on my birthday candles, and searching for four-leaf clovers. Now I look for magic in my fingers and luck in my heart… Because at the end of the day, we are the fleeting ones and not the stars. That’s why, The best time to be happy is always now.

It is possible that many of us feel identified with these lines, however, when was the last time we dared to put the watch – and the cell phone – aside to live intensely in the “here and now”? To the people We often forget that the term “present” also means “gift.”and that good gifts are enjoyed, delighted and above all, appreciated.

Someone we should learn from every day are children. In each of their games the most innate magic and passion happens. They go from one stimulus to another appreciating that present, where infinite interesting things happen to learn from. Until shortly, the adult’s voice appears urging them, introducing them to that disease called RUSH and an enemy called TIME.

We have become accustomed to measuring time based on quantity and not quality. Children can only be children and play from 6 to 7, while adults postpone our happiness to Friday or summer vacation. It’s not appropriate. We suggest you reflect on it.

The society that no longer looks at the stars

Fleeting things have always seemed beautiful to us. A winter flower, the dewdrop at dawn, the rainbow after the storm… Now, We forget that we too are fleeting and wonderfully beautiful, and that time is not something that we are exactly guaranteed. Time is a gift and it is in our power to know how to take advantage of it.

However, it is not something we are doing exactly well. We no longer look anything like those societies that looked at the stars and learned from their cycles. We live in the multitasking society, where we have run out of spaces for reflection or imagination. Time, now, far from being a gift, is slipping through our hands. It’s like stardust orbiting lost among the planets.

We urge our children to leave their toys, to finish their homework early to go to language class, later to music, and then to ballet. We, meanwhile, prepare tomorrow’s agenda and attend to the news. Those news programs, at the bottom of which more headlines appear, so that we never lose the feeling of immediacy. Because Something always happens that we should know about.

We are that society that only looks at the stars to make wishes: to cry out for lost happiness. Because Multitasking and overexertion do not result in effectiveness. The brain doesn’t work this way. Overload makes you inefficient and hopelessly unhappy.

We are wonderfully fleeting, learn to shine

We are fleeting creatures, it is true. Our quota of life is limited, therefore, it is necessary that during this wonderful journey we learn to do something: to shine. Because stopping the clock and living intensely is possible, in fact, we don’t even need to look for great adventures. The important thing is to dress with our best attitude, even if what we do for much of the day is routine. It’s about knowing how to enjoy.

David M. Levy, scientist and professor at the University of Washington, explains that To learn to be more present, it would be necessary to connect to silence from time to time. Our attention is limited and yet we fill our minds with multiple stimuli and persistent noises.

We need our own mental ecosystem to relax in. A forest, a marsh of peace and silence in the center of the mind where we can stop our clock to appreciate time for what it is: a gift. A dimension in which we immerse ourselves with our five senses, as children do when we allow them to truly “be children.”

Because Life satisfaction is not achieved by the tasks performed or by the number of experiences lived. But because of the intensity with which one has been able to appreciate each act, each detail, each aspect of his personal history. This is where our authentic inner light is found, the one that would surely rival the brightest star in the sky.
