Happiness and success, an intimate relationship. (WEEK 227)

Choices in life determine the future, if we choose what is good, what is right and what we enjoy and makes us happy, we will be on the right path.

As it is not my habit to drink because it doesn't feel good and the results would be undesirable, be it wine or beer, it is better to choose other paths.

You know me, I love cats, they are my life and I love art galleries, there would be nothing new in that. And I definitely wouldn't move too far from where I live because I love this city. So the deduction my mind made in mentally answering this weekend's questions is very clear.



I believe that happiness is an internal state of the human being, something that is not found outside of us but inside us, nothing that is outside can give us happiness if it is not part of our soul.


Therefore, of the two options, between professional success or personal happiness, I choose personal happiness, as I believe that the professional comes as a consequence.


When we discover this inner happiness, we share it with the world and it shows in the way we relate to others. No one can make us happy from the outside, what if that person is no longer there or disappears? So we are unhappy?

That is why personal happiness is the path I have chosen, because when one discovers it, the whole world changes, because we look at it with different eyes and when we feel happy, like a kind of peace of mind, something that cannot be described with words, the right people who vibrate in the same tune arrive. People who vibrate differently move away. They are not compatible.

For the same reason, professional success comes by chance, because we will attract it without wanting it.


Facundo Cabral said: He who loves what he does is blessedly condemned to success.


Having inner or personal happiness will mean that we do what we love and therefore the rest will come when it should come, of course this inner work takes great effort and will. Without perseverance there is nothing in life. To get something you have to do something.

Personal happiness does not come from heaven, the inner work is hard but satisfying. Then everything will turn out as we have worked, the universe conspires to make it so. Like attracts like.

That inner work consists of knowing ourselves, knowing ourselves and knowing with sincerity how we are, getting the best out of ourselves and finding that inner motivation for our life, which we must remember should not come from outside or from someone else.


We are individual beings and that strength comes from the source of our heart, we come for a reason, a reason, every soul does. Discovering that will be what will bring us personal happiness. Otherwise emptiness will reign.


We are born alone and we die alone... our happiness consists in finding what we come for, finding that meaning.

And what would you choose, professional success or personal happiness? I'd love to read you in the comments.

Right decision and interesting publication. When you are happy, everything you do is lived and felt as a personal success, I think. Therefore, the right choice, in my opinion, is also personal happiness, it does not need the applause of others.

Happy weekend @avdesing.

If one feels good about oneself and is happy... the rest will come, that's how it is. Thank you very much!✨

Excellent.
I was just commenting to a person that choices are not right wrong, rather, they are happy or unhappy because when you choose what makes you feel good, gives you inner joy and infinite peace that is your way of choosing what is right, even if for others you are wrong. Happy Saturday.
Cheers and greetings.

Exactly so, what is good for one does not necessarily have to be good for all. Thank you very much!😃

Intrinsic happiness certainly exists and leads to only one path: the path of fulfilment in all aspects of life. But I believe there is also an extrinsic happiness that has to do with the people you relate to and love and the environment you live in.

What if that person is gone or disappears, then are we unhappy?

To a certain extent yes, or maybe it's not that feeling (unhappiness), it's nostalgia, it's a certain need to share happiness together again as they experienced it...
And speaking of environments, I don't think a person can be happy if she is locked up, or if someone abuses her, or if someone does not value her, or if all the responsibility for something that should be shared falls on her, or if she cannot do what she likes and what makes her happy because the external conditions do not allow her to do so... in short, I don't think she can be happy. But there is the Universe and metaphysics and all this stuff that we believe in and supposedly a person in this environment is there because his/her actions brought them there. And that person can break free and find her or his place, right? By reprogramming themselves... So you see, it's not a simple issue.

I think you have to find a balance both internally and externally. Each one has to find his or her own recipe.

Exactly, if that person is in that situation it is for a special reason, when he/she becomes aware, he/she frees himself/herself and the world changes. Metaphysics says, as within so without... the outside is a reflection of the inside. Vital principle. Thank you!💗

We are all mirrors. And most people are unhappy because they don't achieve balance. Or their supposed inner happiness was not such happiness and that is why they could not walk the path of self-realisation in every sense. 🤷‍♀
Me siento insoportable hoy. Jajaja... Abrazo grande.

Mira, te voy a contar: 😅😂 aquí estoy yo cantando y limpiando. Ya limpié el ventilador de techo, el cuarto, la cocina, ahora voy para el baño y luego la terraza. Se fue la corriente a las 10. Ahora la pusieron. Es la actitud...no deprimirse, porque yo estaba editando fotos cuando se fue la corriente. Pues cambié de actividad. Es una tarde hermosa. En cuanto acabe me voy a bañar y a poner linda porque estoy harapienta, y sudada. Y seguiré haciendo lo que estaba haciendo. Ah... Y solo he tomado café y agua. Ni desayuné ni almorcé todavía. Pero ya voy, ya voy a comer algo. 😃😀 Abrazo avecilla. Yo disfruto mucho leerte. Y concuerdo contigo en que el trabajo hay que hacerlo desde adentro para que lo de afuera se vea bien.

Sabes? Tengo un conocido... bueno lo conozco hace casi 4 años y me dice, mi cuarto es un lio todo desordenado... tiene 33 años... es como un hermanito y le digo, y como esta tu mente? Y me dice hecha un lio. Le digo ordena tu cuarto te ayudará con la mente, moraleja aún no lo ordena, joder! me salió un hijo descarriado🤣

Yo ando diseñando, me relaja y luego seleccionare fotografías de un museo y luego... a pasear!🤣

No one can make us happy from outside....

Is there any truth as great as that?

Only by being at peace with what we do, how we live and who we live with will we have the near perfect balance to be happy internally and achieve success perhaps, one day.

It is more important to achieve our inner success first and then let whatever comes....

I never tire of reading your reflections which are very sincere and profound. Finding complete happiness is difficult but you are right, we have to find it in our inner and outer selves. I remembered that I am watching a Brazilian soap opera and the theme song goes like this, "Nada que vega de afueranos me puede hacer más feliz...". By Julieta Venegas. Listen to her very nice song. A hug.🤗🥰
