It may just be a coincidence, but I was very surprised to read the theme of the month for this amazing Emotions & Feelings community: image.png.

I've come across it very frequently this past week and right here on Hive, when reading some posts outside of this community and even in some comments on other posts.

The truth is that this word is loaded with a transcendental meaning, that when we understand it is capable of transforming our lives. I am still in that process hahaha but thanks to Hive among other things, developing some different topics, I could understand that this word has a lot to do with the way to happiness of each one of us.

Regardless of our beliefs, everyone, absolutely everyone, has a spiritual need and seeking to satisfy it allows us to find answers to very important questions in life. Another fundamental truth is that we all want to be happy, regardless of our concept of happiness. Some people want to be happy being sad, I don't know, that's what I think because they voluntarily decide to follow a dark and somber style in which they feel good, I don't know, although it is very strange to say it that way, but it could be true, I don't know what you think about it.

Cultivating my spirituality has helped me in many ways that point to fulfillment in different ways and I will point out below some of them that have been vital to me:

✨ Identifying the really important things and making them my priorities.

✨ Not being self-centered and thinking about others, their needs and not just my own.

✨ To understand what it means that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving.

✨ To not be lazy but industrious.

✨ That the family is an institution formed by God for the welfare of its members.

✨ To understand my role within the family arrangement as wife and mother, but in turn as daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, etc.

✨ To be kind to myself.

✨ To see the glass half full and not half empty.

✨ To be more tolerant of others' shortcomings.

✨ To be humble and to know how to forgive.

✨ To be grateful.

It's amazing all this, isn't it, but not everything is perfect. Therefore I always work on it and I have many things to improve. There are some sentences that when I read them consciously took hold of me and I repeat them very often in my head:


🍃

"...I have learned to be content whatever my circumstances. I know how to live with little and I know how to live with much. In everything and in every circumstance I have learned the secret of being satisfied and of going hungry, of having much and of having nothing. "

Pablo¹


In a material sense, I learned to be satisfied. That does not mean that I am a conformist, because I am industrious and hardworking, whether I work for economic or family purposes so to speak, I like to live well and comfortably. But over time we have faced different circumstances, some common to others as in the case of the pandemic that engulfed us all and others more particular to my family environment.

However, even in straits, we have been able to maintain a good attitude and enjoy what we have. Even in those circumstances, we have learned to be grateful and to see God's hand in our lives, which has been wonderful. This way of living has also helped my husband and my son not to despair in these types of situations and also to see the hand of God.

We have seen how in crisis, many people lose hope and even their sanity, they see their hope in material things and when these are missing they are lost, in a bad mood, they get sick, they live complaining and even cursing. Many people, even close relatives have been surprised when I tell them about situations that we have had to live, because many may think that we always have a comfortable life, which is not true.

Once I heard one of my relatives complain that he was starving to death, because certainly the crisis was very strong. That made me very sad because it is true that the situation in most homes became tough and you could not eat as you were used to, but in that particular case I knew that he had never lacked food, and what is food, something that serves to eat and brings health benefits.

Hearing that hurt me a lot, because the truth is that many people did die of hunger for not having anything to eat, and it was never the case of anyone close to the family, although we did have many shortages and strong at many times. It made me sad to think how ungrateful we can be. We still went through hardships but we always had something to eat for which we gave thanks.

I always comment that my greatest pleasure in life is to eat, I also comment that in our family we always eat well, although sometimes that is misinterpreted thinking that I mean good food or in abundance. But the truth is that it doesn't matter what we have to eat, sometimes simpler than others, sometimes more than others, but what is true is that I take care that whatever we eat is tasty. Besides, I think that food is one of the ways to show love to your loved ones, that's why I take so much care that my husband and my son can enjoy what they eat, and of course I do too.

In fact, something that has always struck me as funny is that my son, when he thanks God before eating, he always thanks God because he is going to eat something delicious, and when I ask him how he knows it will be delicious if he hasn't tasted it yet, he says, "why wouldn't it be? That expression has also helped me to focus on what is really important and also to feel that we can set an example and drag others to be satisfied and thankful.

All of the above is true, however, I still have a lot of things to work on. There are things that cannot be changed and others that can, in order to be satisfied. I have not yet achieved that balance and therefore there are areas in which I am still not satisfied. It saddens me to say it, but the best that God did was one day after another and the important thing is to move forward, even if it is one step at a time.

If you made it this far I thank you and hope you can leave me your comments. I would love to read you

Es posible que solo sea una coincidencia, pero me sorprendió mucho leer que image.png, es el tema del mes para esta increíble comunidad de image.png.

Me he topado con el muy frecuentemente esta semana pasada y justo aquí en Hive, al leer algunas publicaciones ajenas a esta comunidad e incluso en algunos comentarios de otras publicaciones.

Lo cierto es que esta palabra está cargada de un significado trascendental, que cuando lo entendemos es capaz de trasformar nuestras vidas. Yo aún estoy en ese proceso jajaja pero gracias a Hive entre otras cosas, desarrollando algunos diferentes temas, pude entender que esta palabra tiene mucho que ver con el camino a la felicidad de cada uno de nosotros.

Sin importar nuestras creencias, todos, absolutamente todos, tenemos una necesidad espiritual y el buscar satisfacerla nos permite encontrar respuestas a interrogantes muy importantes de la vida. Otra verdad fundamental es que todos queremos ser felices, sin importar el concepto que tengamos de la felicidad. Algunos quieren ser felices siendo tristes, no lo sé, es lo que pienso porque voluntariamente deciden seguir un estilo oscuro y sombrío en el que se siente bien, no lo sé, aunque es muy extraño decirlo así, pero pudiera ser cierto, no sé qué opinas tú al respecto.

Cultivar mi espiritualidad me ha ayudado en muchos sentidos que apuntan hasta la satisfacción de diferentes maneras y señalaré a continuación algunas de ellas que han sido vitales para mí:

✨ Identificar las cosas realmente importantes y convertirlas en mis prioridades.

✨ No ser egocentrista y pensar en los demás, en sus necesidades y no solo en las mías.

✨ Entender lo que significa que hay más felicidad en dar que en recibir.

✨ A no ser holgazán sino industriosa.

✨ Que la familia es una institución formada por Dios para el bienestar de sus miembros.

✨ A entender mi papel dentro del arreglo de la familia como esposa y madre, pero a su vez como hija, hermana, nuera, cuñada, tía, etc.

✨ A ser bondadosa conmigo misma.

✨ A ver el vaso medio lleno y no medio vacío.

✨ A ser más tolerante con los defectos de los demás.

✨ A ser humilde y saber perdonar.

✨ A ser agradecida.

Es increíble todo esto, ¿no es verdad?, pero no todo es perfecto. Por lo tanto siempre trabajo en ello y tengo muchas cosas que mejorar. Existen unas frases que cuando las leí de forma consciente se apoderaron de mí y las repito muy frecuentemente en mi cabeza:


🍃

“…he aprendido a estar contento sean cuales sean mis circunstancias. Sé vivir con poco y sé vivir con mucho. En todo y en cualquier circunstancia he aprendido el secreto de estar satisfecho y de pasar hambre, de tener mucho y de no tener nada”

Pablo¹


En sentido material, aprendí a sentirme satisfecha. Eso no significa que sea conformista, porque son industriosas y trabajadora, bien sea que trabaje con un fin económico o familiar por decirlo de alguna manera, me gusta vivir bien y cómodamente. Pero a lo largo del tiempo hemos enfrentado diferentes circunstancias, algunas comunes a otros como en el caso de la pandemia que nos arropó a todos y otras más particulares a mi entorno familiar.

Sin embargo, aún en estrechez, hemos podido mantener una buena actitud y disfrutar de lo que tenemos. Aun en esas circunstancias, hemos aprendido a estar agradecidos y a ver la mano de Dios en nuestra vida lo cual ha sido maravillo. Esta forma de vivir también ha ayudado a mi esposo y a mi hijo, a no desesperarse en este tipo de situaciones y también a ver la mano de Dios.

Hemos visto como en crisis, muchas personas pierden la esperanza e incluso la cordura, ven su esperanza en las cosas materiales y cuando estas faltan se ven perdidos, de mal humor, se enferman, viven quejándose incluso hasta maldiciendo. Muchas personas, incluso familiares cercanos se han quedado sorprendidas cuando les comento situaciones que nos ha tocado vivir, pues muchos pueden pensar que siempre tenemos una vida cómoda, lo cual no es cierto.

Una vez escuché que uno de mis familiares se quejó, de que en un tiempo se estaba muriendo de hambre, porque ciertamente la crisis estuvo muy fuerte. Eso me dio mucha tristeza porque es verdad que la situación en la mayoría de los hogares se puso ruda y no se podía comer como se estaba acostumbrado, pero en ese caso en particular sabía que nunca le había faltado alimento, y ¿qué es un alimento?, algo que sirve para comer y aporta beneficios a la salud.

Escuchar eso me dolió mucho, porque la verdad es que muchas personas si murieron de hambre por no tener nada para comer, y nunca fue el caso de nadie cercano a la familia, aunque si tuvimos muchas carencias y fuertes en muchos momentos. Me dio tristeza pensar cómo podemos llegar a ser malagradecidos. Igual pasamos estreches pero siempre tuvimos algo para comer por lo cual dimos gracias.

Siempre comento que mi mayor placer en la vida es comer, también comento que en nuestra familia siempre comemos bien, aunque a veces eso se malinterpreta pensando que me refiero a buena comida o en abundancia. Pero la verdad es que no importa lo que tengamos para comer, unas veces más sencillas que otras, a veces en mayor cantidad que en otras, pero lo que si es cierto es que me esmero porque cualquier cosa que comamos sea sabrosa. Además, me parece que la comida es una de las formas de mostrar amor a los suyos, por eso me esmero tanto porque mi esposo y mi hijo puedan disfrutar de lo que comen, y por supuesto yo también.

De hecho, algo que siempre me ha parecido gracioso es que mi hijo, cuando da gracias a Dios antes de comer siempre agradece porque va a comer algo rico, y cuando le pregunto que como sabe que estará rico si aún no lo ha probado dice, “porque no habría de estarlo”. Esa expresión también me ha ayuda a centrarme en lo verdaderamente importante y también en sentir que podemos dar el ejemplo y arrastrar a otros a estar satisfechos y ser agradecidos.

Todo al anterior es cierto, sin embargo, aún tengo muchas cosas en las cuales trabajar. Hay cosas que no se pueden cambiar y otras que sí, para poder estar satisfechos. Aun no logro ese equilibrio y por lo tanto hay áreas en las que aún no estoy satisfecha. Me da tristeza decirlo, pero lo mejor que hizo Dios fue un día tras de otro y lo importante es avanzar e ir hacia adelante aunque sea de paso en paso.

Si llegaste hasta aquí 😊,te lo agradezco y espero que puedas dejarme tus comentarios. Me encantaría leerte

Excelente descripción de lo que es el secreto de la felicidad @marbrym . Concuerdo contigo en muchas cosas, en especial que la espiritualidad es importante y el estar contentos con lo que tenemos...lo necesario. Me agrado leerte de nuevo, tienes una manera especial de abordar este tipo de temas. Feliz día para ti amiga!! ❤️😘🌸🌻

You have stated a lot of reasons for one to be satisfied with himself, it's true when you sat we should be grateful for what we eat, cause there are others finding it hard to do so
I live your writeup, it has brought some kinda understanding to me
#dreemport brought me here

The world pushes us to go after many things with the illusion that they will bring us happiness and at some point we will be satisfied, but rather they lead us away from the path.

I am grateful to #Dreemport for bringing you this far. friend @treasuree ❤️🌷🤝🤗

The illusion somethings starts fading and we are left with nothing, but am starting afresh .

You are welcome dearie😍

To be kind to myself

This is important. I always self sabotage myself often before but now I'm starting to be kind on it. For my own happiness, and I am satisfied with it. We won't feel this everyday but if we want, even tjose simple things that mights just a small things to others cab actually gave us more satisfaction.

It is true, unfortunately sometimes we are the worst judge of ourselves and that does not help us to be happy. Every day we can learn something new and good. There are many things to be thankful for that contribute to our physical and emotional well being, but many go unnoticed.

If we pay a little attention to the details, live one day at a time and strive to reinforce each positive learning in our lives, we will be more satisfied and learn to enjoy the journey, because ultimately happiness is not a destination, but the sum of what we live day by day.

I loved reading your comment, I really appreciate it @ruffatotmee 🌷❤️🤝🤗.

Yayy, let's just go with the things that can make us happy. Forget the negativities and lets appreciate every little things that give happiness to us ❤️

Spiritual life is , indeed needed to attain that peace and happiness in our life, I believe.
No matter what we feel, been through
