EVIDENCE: THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGE

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I LEARNED TO PLAY SOCCER AS A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER. I WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO PLAY FOOTBALL LIKE LIONEL MESSI. IF I WANT TO PLAY LIKE I HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION, CALCULATE
THE ANGLES TO MAKE THE GOAL, AND TRY TO MAKE PLAYS AND PASSES LIKE HIM. IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT
AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO NOT FIX THE ANGULO WELL THE BALL CAN GO TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND NOT PUT THE GOAL.

I HAD ALREADY TRIED IT MANY TIMES, BUT IN GENERAL I WAS FRUSTRATED AND IMPATIENT, ANYWAY, I KEPT
PRACTICING A LOT IN THE SOCCER SCHOOL AND ALSO IN THE PARK NEAR MY HOUSE.

ALTHOUGH AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS DIFFICULT AND I FELT FRUSTRATED, I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS
OF MY SOCCER TEACHER AND PRACTICING EVERY DAY I GOT BETTER LITTLE BY LITTLE.

IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS I HAD ALREADY BECOME THE BEST OF MY GROUP AND THEY NAMED ME
CAPTAIN, I FELT REALLY HAPPY. WE PARTICIPATED IN A CHAMPIONSHIP AND THANKS TO THE WINNING GOAL
I MADE, WE WON THE CUP AND THE GOLD MEDAL. IT HAD ALWAYS SEEMED SUPER COOL TO SEE MESSI PLAY,
AND NOW I FEEL I CAN BECOME LIKE HIM.

MORAL OF THE STORY: TO BE HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL, YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT MOTIVATES
YOU; IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT IT IS IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, IT'S FINE.

I LOVE FOOTBALL!
