What makes us wake up everyday, what gives meaning to everything we do, the fuel for life, dreams.Each refueling brings a period of autonomy, and depending on the quality and quantity of fuel, so we will have to refuel before or after.
It is the vital circle to any human being. Dreams must be renewed every so often if we do not want the engine of our life stops. We need to feel that we walk towards the achievement of our dreams, to feel that we own our future.
Eduard Punset - spanish lawyer, economist, and scientific popularizer - usually said "happiness is on the anteroom of happiness." In a conference, Punset tells how his dog Pastora taught him to understand the meaning of this phrase. He was preparing food for his dog while it was jumping around and wagging the tail. Then he used to leave the plate on the ground and the dog sometimes ate, sometimes did not. The mood of the dog changed when one big wish materialized. During the process of preparing the food, the dog was in the waiting room of happiness. At this period of time it was really happy.
Something similar happens to humans. We really enjoy the process towards the achievement of a dream, a goal or a success as well. And then? The mountaineer Willi Unsoeld said once: "It is curious how a dream comes fulfilled, there's just doubts left." The reason is simple, an illusion is lost and then a period of uneasy calm begins, a period that does not fill us, but which keeps us serened and with a cool head, where we feel that something is missing. This period is nothing else than a pit stop to refuel, to renew and consider new dreams. It is our nature, we are mavericks, we always want more.We do not realize, but we usually have all ingredients in the hand: we have the car, engine, fuel, spark to start, the road, what are we missing? Learn to drive, to understand the world around us, know when to accelerate and make sacrifices, and when to go slow and enjoy. Let's enjoy the anteroom, day-to-day life. Let's shelve complexes, facing up the problems, let's gobble up the world... and let's regret having done something wrong instead of did not do anything.
A full life, full of happiness, is one where dreams and goals are renewed every so often, where we walk towards them slowly but steady, closing stages, where we get to enjoy the process and even if we stumble, we get up and we carry on with more strength and more wisdom."Happiness is not a goal but a lifestyle."
