We live as if this were going to last forever. Beyond taking care of our bodies, we try to “keep them” forever young by making our wrinkles disappear, etc. We strive to acquire possessions, a better social status... considering that nothing, absolutely nothing, external to us will accompany us beyond death, not even the relationships we have. What we will surely take with us is the love we have given and received.
Understanding and integrating that everything that happens to us has the positive intention of providing us with opportunities to experience and learn in this wonderful classroom that is life gives us a different perspective. It is moving from seeing a world of fear, suffering, and death to a world that offers us the situations and relationships we need to wake up from this dream, or rather nightmare.
We cannot change our surroundings, but we can choose to change our perception, the way we see things. And that is precisely where our freedom and inner peace lie.
We have the option to be happy here and now, regardless of the circumstances we are going through, because happiness comes from within.
