Gratitud—the end of the year

It is almost the end of the year, time I get all melancholic and revise my past months and see how little is left for this year to end. Then, What comes next? gets in mind. New ideas, exciting places to shoot and great people to meet… but before I plan my next 12 months, I think is time for a recount.

What happened?
This past three years I had learn so many things—starting by practicing gratefulness. And not just thinking about it, but to really feel it and experimenting how life-changing this positive feeling could be.
I once was a really negative person, not negative in being a dark cloud in peoples live but negative towards my own achievements and trusting levels. If something good happened to me, I was getting ready for the disappointment— because in my mind it was too good to be true. There were always something negative to the positive—You graduated from college… But not with an 4.0 gpa or a great school. You have your own place… But in a really bad neighborhood. I always found the way to bit the shit out of my happiness and my little achievements.

What did I do?
Everything started to change one night after letting go decades of anger and self hate. That was the night I decided to raise a family and bring a child to the world. But before that, I felt the need of a soul cleanser. First, I needed to ID my feelings and find a way to make peace with myself. Second, to take actions.

Many of this type of problems happens when you are part of a dysfunctional household when you are a kid— and I was not an exception. But it was time for me to put an end to the past and start fresh because I felt I deserved it. So I did it.
Today
That decision taught me so much about feelings and how you can turn you life around by just switching your thoughts and being gratefully positive. Now I see things so much clear and different. I now understand that life is full of problems but is how you approach to the problems that makes the difference. Looking for the positive in any situation instate of the negative bring me more of happiness and better results.

Now I let myself be grateful and happy.
I let myself to love more
I let myself to laugh more
I let myself to give thanks more
I let myself to give… but really give more
I let myself to joke more and be less serious
I must of all, I let my self to be who I want to be

Only you can make your own happiness.
