What's your paradise?



I was listening Alejandro Sanz ,Spanish singer \"Looking for a paradise\" song last summer and a lot of questions came to my mind…
What is a paradise?
I guess for every person \"Paradise\" means something different. We are constantly looking for our own paradise. Am I? Of course I am. Who is not?
In the last year, the picture of my Paradise has changed. Being honest, before I just to believe that my Picture of Perfect life will be achieving everything that I always wanted. and If I make a list, my first phrase will be a life partner playing a house , kids, and after, a full page of goals will fill the list. I think that was the moment , when I got lost in life . Don't worry! I'm not lost anymore.
I have to say, that I'm enjoying my life in balance, living in simplicity. It's great to achieve goals and is fantastic to have personal and professional goals, I do have them. I want a family, kids, home, job . but my life doesn't depends from that anymore. My point is not to judge myself , if we I haven't reach them yet. . Yes, I STOPPED!!!!!!! now, I take the time to enjoy myself, look into peoples eyes, appreciating smiles, talks, small gestures, kindness, sharing companionship, family, friends, food, dance, taking the time to breath, and feel that the air is going trough my lungs. It's an amazing feeling!.
And is not like I never wanted to live like this, is just that I was so busy trying to do a million things at the same time, that I didn't really enjoy what it is really important. Well, we all learn from everything, including mistakes . I'm grateful because thanks to all these unforgettable moments is Who I am today. ;)



Making an emphasis in my personal experience. Finally, Is not about who will I be when I achieve this or who will be the person who will make me happy? Is about who I am right now, and how I am living my life at this moment. Is not about wanting to draw my future picture, is about coloring my today and knowing with my heart that my life puzzle will find the right pieces at the perfect moment.
That's my paradise!



What's your paradise?
