Summary: If we can not settle it happens that we end up falling into the trap of:

When you will have that thing, will be happy
When will that place, will be at peace
Just the person I Americ, potr enjoy this

And the whole set of related myths. As you may have noticed, they never work. Or, in case temporarily deceive us, we always end up falling more deeply than before, or getting lost in a perpetual chase.

If we really want to become masters of the enjoyment of the present, we must first accept it for com. Whatever our situation, THAT.

Surrender to this idea, let every fight (mental) for a certain thing ottnere

If we train to notice what we really already have, there will be no room to feel dissatisfied with what we have

Being content does NOT mean surrender

Full Text: The article today dedicated to a piece of wisdom that often is misunderstood and not fully understood: A little thing to live happily it really so?
Today we look at how much of this idea true and what is not.
First, surely, we must understand what is meant by little.
And for that, we'll have to bother at least two people who knew their business.
Surely you will have seen those pictures of children, in much poorer countries than ours, smiling at camera with a real smile (the one that includes the muscles of the eyes, for instance).
Or, if you're lucky, you'll have seen the good life that, despite being a remake cinematic interpretations of a possible reality, precisely depicts a possible reality.
You'll notice that in both these cases, the prospect instrumental in maintaining a high mood and adequate functionality even in the maximum emergency situations or when you get to touch the bottom.
We, fortunately, we are not always obliged to live in the maximum emergency, so we can be a little more analytical and talk about the levels of need that we have to meet in order to live happily.
You've probably already heard about the pyramid of Maslow's needs: according to the scholar every human being has five levels of needs to satisfy.
Te will list them below the pi low (the base of the pyramid) to the highest (the tip of the pyramid)
Primary Physiological needs Safety and Protection Affection and belonging Social Self-Recognition
As you may have guessed, if we consider these five levels, the concept of little can vary enormously.
If you miss the air or water, it will be hard to focus on dellumano transcendence.
Or even only on a Tesla Model S p100d.
Let's take a journey through the various levels of the little and try to see if you can be happy in each of these sectors.
I am fortunate to have them crossed all in these 34 years (33 and a half to be extremely precise) so I know firsthand the topic.
You just want to say that it takes little to live happy!
Oh, yes: I feel like it.
I was with so little money by not being able to go out, but at that time I was still able to appreciate what I had.
Not that I liked to go without food, but I knew that my body still had a few megawatts available before vaporize, so I was able to be patient.
The same thing occurred with sleep, sex, thirst and basic health.
I remember one night in Lon hospital, totally dehydrated with a 40 fever and physical problems of any kind, yet still happy for the experience mad that I was living (although I admit that it could be the delirium of fever)
For the second and third level, I was sick, jobless, to 13000 km away from family and friends, with nothing that had my name on it except a backpack.
Yet I was still able to see the beauty of what I had.
Of course, not easy.
And if possible for A human being (and I'm sure he was not the only one in the world in dellumanit history), possible for everyone.
I had, like many of us, lucky enough to be able to explore even fourth and fifth level and be deprived of respect, of my self-control and in a few cases for the truth of my self-esteem.
Each level of needs has a little that is defined differently, but always short.
But then, what is the key?
Even here there needs a little discussion: the Italians tend to lose the meaning of words on the street.
We have wonderful words and polluting, secondary meanings, forgetting the primary.
For example, we think of the word compassion.
Despite means Feeling of pity towards those unhappy to his aches, his misfortunes, his flaws and participation in the suffering of others, we often consider only contemptuous pity.
This also happens with content.
Who among us does not know lantico said:
Anyone who is satisfied enjoys.
Yet we tend to believe most of the pop version that ends with cos cos.
Settle has a very precise meaning and quite far from synonymous with surrender that we often use.
What does it mean then?
That takes very little to live happily?
Make do: make someone happy (themselves) / Feeling happy and satisfied
Nor does it seem so bad after all.
But then it happens because we hate this definition or while we abhor the continuing pursuit of new business achievement, career advancement or international success that frustrates us and makes us unhappy until his achievement and beyond?
When you plant something in a garden, we need favorable initial conditions and a seed.
Without the favorable initial conditions, in fact, will be much more difficult for the seed to flourish (though still possible) and be without the seed seems clear.
All of us, especially in these pages, we are in search of better life for ourselves for many reasons: because we think we deserve it, because we are tired of living in half, because we faced something big and we understand that time is running out whatever our motivation, we want a life that is worthwhile.
And now we would like, damn!
What's up?
What we end up falling into the trap of:
When you will have that thing, will be happy when it will be in that place, he will be alone Just the one person I Americ, potr enjoy this
And the whole set of related myths.
As you may have noticed, they never work.
Or, in case temporarily deceive us, we always end up falling more deeply than before, or getting lost in a perpetual chase.
How do we then believe in the old adage that we have mentioned before, if possible in the original version and not that of Ligabue?
By planting the seed in fertile ground.
What is the breeding ground for us?
The reality.
Yes, good answer, I say.
Yes, good answer tell you.
But we analyze more deeply what I mean.
If we really want to become masters of the enjoyment of the present, we must first accept it for com.
Whatever our situation, THAT.
But extremely important to make peace with the actual present, because from there it goes.
If you are aware of my starting point I can go where I want without being wrong direction.
If I deny my reality because I do not like, not only did I not have the power to edit, but I do not know what to do and butter a lot of mental and physical energies.
In order to plant the seed of success, you need to feel the land where you tread.
L Why will you plant them.
In the midst of all that we have already, there are already many things fertile.
Our task to stop taking them for granted.
This really means to settle.
This is the very reason why it takes little to live happily.
It can happen, no doubt.
This does not change things.
Even within all this really bad, always something to save c.
It could be that you have your legs working (or who do not have them), or the luck that there are the sun and the sea but something always c (I speak better in this article) Our task to get used to notice BEFORE that.
If we train to notice what we really already have, there will be no room to feel dissatisfied with what we have.
Indeed, we will be more conscious of our resources and begin to refine them in order to achieve what we really want.
We will begin to feel more in control of our ability and responsibility, and we will have far more clear the inventory of our identity.
Let me repeat once more: be content does not mean surrender.
Being content does NOT mean surrender
Accept and enjoy the present, though not the optimal one only the starting point for any future we desire.
But the only possible starting point also because, like it or not, we are l.
So, how do you begin?
They take paper and pen are our most sharp weapons and at least once a week we do the inventory of the things that we already have and we are thankful for.
True, the gratitude is very fashionable in this period, such as mindfulness and Greta Thunberg.
How much we take a sheet of paper and find ten little things we are thankful for right now?
Very little, actually.
So, if we really want to begin to enjoy the present and realize that it takes little to live happily, we find that napkin and scriviamoci over three, five or even better ten things for which we must thank life today.
We do not give up that sheet until we have finished the list!
Let's put it like this: it takes very little to start with.
It just wants to decide to take that small space within us and we note that we have already, even if it was the last one of freedom corner of our minds.
If it remains only that, there we have it.
Stephen Hawking costru There's a whole universe in there.
And who are we, less than Stephen Hawking?
If you want to start in a serious way to cultivate the serenity of your mind, in order to create the future you want, you just have to start.
And the best place to start here.
In this regard, I have created for you an exercise that you can use whenever you want.
