You can be happy too

“You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.” Ruth E. Renkl

Imagine how much time you spend being unhappy.
Isn't it a waste?
Waste of everything: energy, attention, concentration, time, life and much more.

Are you happy?
Being happy is a choice and is also a state of the mind.
There are so many people and factors trying to get a piece of your happiness and most of the times you allow it.

Happiness can be anything. To learn to be happy is a choice of your own mind.
From the moment you wake up everyday, the natural impulse of your inner being is to feel anger because you have to set that time to go to work, study, etc. 

The best example of the masters in happiness are children with less resources that learn how to be happy with less than other children with more resources.
They just are conscious of their boundaries and they choose to feel happy with less.
They find useless to feel unhappy and consider a waste of time complaining and they use every single moment they can get, to be or to feel happy.

Can we be happy?
That answer is very diverse and will depend on the measurement of what we can let go of things that bother us instead of wanting to allow things to bother more than what they really can.
In other words, if give them the enough importance they will affect us causing us unhappiness.

When we allow things to affect us, we are just giving those element the right to interfere in our quietness and affect us directly.
We then turn into irascible beings incapable of reasoning and our ability for problem solving lowers and we spend more time in problems that have simple solutions.

Are those elements worth that we change our mood for bad?
Not really, 
We live everyday allowing 90% of our environment to affect our life.
We do not know how to handle the 10% that really happen to us and we mess the following 90% of our day, week, month.

Now that you know where it is, do not allow that to affect you and by default you could live a longer life focusing in things that really matter.
Identify the element that trigers your unhappiness, isolate it and do not allow it steals your inner peace and affect your love ones.
