The value we give to things [ENG-ESP] El valor que le damos a las cosas

Hello, friends of @holos-lotus, I bring you a personal reflection, which always pushes me to move forward, to improve and to value everything around me. I say it now, that I have already removed my cast and I am recovering my hand, how much we value things, for example, health, material or emotional, I hope you enjoy it, and any comments will be very welcome, because in emotions we accompany each other and the exchange is enriching.

This graphic that I show you here is my favorite motivational image for years. One day a coworker gave it to me, super nice, then we were both fired and the little poster stayed there, I decided that in every place I might not always be happy (because stability and happiness do not go together, even if we want) so I replicated it whenever I understood that someone needed this motivation and I replicated it to me, both in Argentina, Spain and every time I move, my wall must have this near, it's like my "hang in there, baby".

But we will talk about it a little bit in depth, what does it refer to? value? things? to have? not to have? Let's break it down a little bit, because it applies to several different things in life.

For example, we will start with what I think is the most basic, when we want them, when we have them and when we lose them, it seems simple to see, or simple at least, but it is not. When we want something, besides the enormous value we give them, there is everything we work to get it. Be it material or otherwise. Like a child crying for a toy. His level of desire is great, so great that he sizes it up gigantically, some will even say "I can't do without a certain thing" As difficult as it may seem to us, we all can do without that whim, but we prefer with it, so we strive to get it.

Here begins the tangle, because once achieved, it is already part of us, we no longer have to make an effort to obtain it, I repeat here that it can be either material or not. That is to say, I want a car, or I want a love, it is indistinct. When it arrives, it is already part and although happiness lasts us, the desire has decreased considerably, then it becomes almost a certain habit, here some would say that we must remember where we come from, not to think about where we are going, to be grateful is to think about our own path and everything we have traveled to reach this post. Although its value decreased, happiness should be stable, constant, and no, it is not.

So, maybe we accidentally lose it. Or through no fault of our own, the love goes away and the car is damaged, and our happiness is so diminished that the desire grows. Now we want it even more and we value it again, we even enlarge it, we value it more now that it is gone. Here some will say that "our time has passed" and perhaps you are one of those who punish yourself for this loss. Why didn't I value him before? Why was I like this? Sometimes we just don't know how to be happy. It's like a recipe to follow, strive for, achieve and cherish. And this is where the theme of my development today falls. The value.

The one we give to that when we don't have it pushes us to get it but not to keep it. The use of consciousness leads us to value things in their right measure. We do not need from outside much more than we can give ourselves. The car will be the excuse to make an effort and save, and the love we seek will be the road to travel to learn to give us that love, but we can without what we think we need, in general it is a matter of values (of valuation, not economic) that leads us to disappointment, having lost something that we were not valuing enough should be all the information that the universe sends us to learn and not to make that mistake again, not to regret. And whoever lives in regret, will see even higher the last stick of the graph.

I leave you a huge hug and thank you for reading this reflection that accompanies every path and desire in my life for many years.
