The teachings of Pope Francis to be happy

“You may have flaws, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but don't forget that your life is the largest company in the world.
Only you can prevent it from going into decline.
Many appreciate you, admire you and love you.
I would like you to remember that being happy is not having a stormless sky, a road without road accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments.
To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security on the stage of fear, love in disagreements.
Being happy is not only appreciating the smile, but also reflecting on sadness.
It's not just about celebrating successes, but learning lessons from failures.
It is not just feeling happy with applause, but being happy in anonymity.
To be happy is to recognize that life is worth living, despite all the challenges, misunderstandings and periods of crisis.
Being happy is not a fate fate, but an achievement for those who are able to travel within their own being.
To be happy is to stop feeling victimized and become an actor in your own story.
It is to cross deserts outside of oneself, but to be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul.
It is thanking God every morning for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of your feelings.
It is knowing how to talk about yourself.
It is having courage to listen to a "No".
It is to feel confident in receiving criticism, even if unfair.
It is kissing children, pampering parents, living poetic moments with friends, even if they hurt us.
To be happy is to let the creature that lives in each of us live, free, joyful and simple.
It is having the maturity to be able to say: "I was wrong".
It is having the courage to say: "Forgive me".
It is having the sensitivity to express: "I need you".
It is having the ability to say "I love you".
May your life become a garden of opportunities to be happy ...
That in your springs be a lover of joy.
That in your winters be a friend of wisdom.
And that when you go wrong, you start all over again.
Because this way you will be more passionate about life.
And you will find that being happy is not having a perfect life.
But use tears to flush tolerance.
Use losses to refine patience.
Use mistakes to sculpt serenity.
Use pain to stone pleasure.
Use obstacles to open the windows of intelligence.
Never give up ….
Never give up on the people you love.
Never give up happiness, because life is an incredible sight!
