I’ve Learned That It’s Enough To Be With Those I Like

“I have learned to be with those I like is enough,” wrote Walt Whitman. We want to address this to talk about the importance of feeling comfortable.

Let’s think about how good we feel when we’re at a party surrounded by people who love us. Let us consider the difference between being comfortable at work and not being comfortable.

We can address many situations to talk about the importance of appreciating what you have. What makes us happy is a set of incentives that make us interested in staying in a place with certain people.

Disappointment, a matter of expectations

It is normal (and common) to feel disappointed sometimes. In fact, it would have been hard not to feel this. In the end, we can not hope that our expectations fit reality or the world around us.

It would have been unfair and narcissistic to expect everything to be as we want it to be. But we should also not give up hope that it will be this way, and this is where our attitudes become important.

Imagine that we are preparing a party for someone special and we put all our hope in this process. But when the person arrives, he protests that the party does not fit how he wanted it.

The person’s reaction is unfair and shows very little emotional intelligence. He or she does not appreciate that the most important thing is that you are with those you like and that this is something that is good for all of us.

What we mean by this is that when we walk around and complain about every detail so:

• Do we want to create an unrealistic world that is not ideal?
• We treat the essence of the event badly.
• We do not think about what is really important.

Our own circumstances often bring us back to reality. This makes us see that if we are not comfortable, it is because we refuse to accept something that can actually be fantastic.

To accept our feelings and our reality

A perfect world does not exist. It is important for us to accept that it is not bad to feel sadness, fear or anger. This helps us to learn and to feel. In fact, we are often surprised if we feel comfortable being sad.

How is it possible for us to feel comfortable when we have an uncomfortable feeling? It is simply a matter of synthesizing what we need at this time. To do this, we must first stop paying attention to the marketing that wants to sell us an ideal world.

We are not machines and we do not always win in life. Understanding this will allow us to maintain a good attitude in the face of problems that may ruin our peace. Well-being is achieved not only through happiness, but also by accepting one’s experiences. It is about looking for what is good for us and finding our peace.

As we have already said, convenience needs an acceptance attitude. He who has a beautiful life has this because he admires its beauty, even though bad things can happen.

Finally, we want to give you a poem by Borges, “I learned over time”:
