Sometimes I’m in the street, walking with big
steps, bated breath, my heart in my hand and this overwhelming sense of stress
and anxiety… and suddenly, for a few seconds I stop and think: Why? Why am I
acting in this way? Am I running away from someone? NO. Am I late for an
important meeting? NO! Maybe I have some outstanding tasks to do? That’s not true either. It’s at this moment that
I realize that I’m inevitably involved in the current modern time.
Everyday dynamics load onto our shoulders the
responsibility to be someone in life, making our achievements look insufficient
and forcing us to aim for our goals like a race against time, just to show how
successful we can be.
How often do we spend time on ourselves? Just to
think, reflect and dream? Nowadays those activities are antonyms of productive life
and in this way, negative things that are just for “lazy people”. Our time
asleep is probably the one time of the day we have to ourselves, but some of us
prefer to “die” for only six hours or less, because time is gold.
But even when you think that you can’t fight
this situation, there is a way to overcome it. Just do what you want, and when
you have decided what to do, do it all with passion, convinced that you will
love it every day, and in this way, the next time that you feel your heart in
your hands it will be with the pleasure of knowing that was the best thing that
you could do for yourself.
Life is easy.
