what is stopping you?
There are many things in life that come to us as a challenge: obstacles, opportunities, people, power, money, etc. There is always someone or something that keeps us from achieving what we want or what we think we need at the moment. It is like some force in the universe, God or something making our life harder. Or is it impossible to get what we want and we don´t like it because we aren’t worth it?
Life is hard. To live is like a Greek tragedy where all of us are fighting our own battles and having different problems that make us quit and living an easy life if there is one. The only difference is that there is no one to blame; we don’t have gods that decide for us; there are no parents we can blame for what has happened because, in the end, it depends on us. We are waiting for someone to save us; to wave his or her magic wand and change everything, make it easier or do or just give them what we want. But if we earned it without making an effort would we be able to recognize its value?
The cosmos is conspiring against us; there is nothing we can do to live better if we don’t do anything to make our life easier. The fact is, it all depends on us, what we let pass by or not is on us. Our decisions make our path harder or easier. We must learn to see what we want and be realistic in what we can have or not and work for it. Nobody gives away things for free, it all has a cost. What are you willing to pay for it?

First of all, we have to recognize that the value that we give to things or to actions is all up to us. No one will ever see the very same value we give them as we do. That value that we see in everything doesn’t need any cost nor price, and if someone ever stands a price for them, the value automatically stops, and is when you realice that is just another circumstance or things as the others. Ethics gives us the proper manner to realize which things are worth doing, and which ones are not. We as humans act with the one and only reason of being happy, our human acts involve our intelligence, and your will. If we act the proper way, we will realize that that path drives us into the happiness. If we ignore those signs of innapropiate actions, we relapse into types of ignorance, the simple, the supine and the affected. It is important to know that the last one is the worst one. If we tend to ignore those signs of unnecessary happiness, we are on track to the emptiness of ourselves. There is fear when it comes to realizing what is good for you and what is not, this may be an obstacle for your will. We know there are problems when it comes to accepting yourself, and the reason could be that, how can you know yourself when you don’t know who you are. So the first step to live better is to be willing to accept ourselves by getting to know us.
