My niece insisted that this emoticon was not a piece of poop but a chocolate ice cream that had finally freed itself from an oppressive cone and that was why it was so happy.

I only listened to her while she invented with impressive rapidity some stories around that image, and at the same time I was wondering, in what moment of life was that we started to become adults, but of those adults "jartos" full of complaints and neuroses , like walking scars that in certain part of the way we go down to the station of the malparidez and we renounce that ability that allows us to appreciate great possibilities even in scenes that in appearance are a disaster and that seen from a pessimistic context they would be labeled as situations of shit.

I asked my niece to lend me her magic glasses, that is, I tried to put into practice during the following days "the theory of the good side of eating shit," so that the phrase sounds funny or grotesque because of stool, could be quite useful in some difficult experiences.

When you finish a romantic relationship:

You thank them for how nice you lived and for how long it lasted.

Instead of saying that you were left alone, think that now you will have space to reinforce your independence, to cleanse yourself and reinvent yourself.

Maybe you were not so happy, and that both you and the other person got rid of a relationship that no longer worked.
You already have more clear what you want and what you do not want in a relationship.

You experience the importance of letting go, letting go and understanding that life is what happens while you cling uselessly to nostalgia.

If the person embroiled it, then for a next occasion you will know how to choose your next partner better (I hope so). If, on the other hand, you were the one who behaved badly, then you have already understood what you should not do (I hope).

When you lose your job:

The signals were crystal clear, you had already completed your cycle in the company.

Your bosses or some of your colleagues already had you on the verge of a nervous breakdown and you will not have to see their faces anymore.

You understand that you also made mistakes and that your motivation had vanished, so you were not exactly a model employee.

Perhaps circumstances are telling you that it is time to follow your dreams and start _________ (fill in the blank with any of these words: undertake, travel, write, ascend, etc.)

You look for a better paid job, with a better environment and that will generate greater satisfactions.

You learn to manage more wisely the money you have, while you decide which way to go.

And so we can do the exercise of seeing the positive in different contexts.

When you get sick:

Maybe you suffered from severe pain and had to practice many medical exams, or be several days in the clinic, however, you realize that it is the perfect opportunity to improve your lifestyle, down to accelerate and take care a little more . You are already aware that your body warns you when something is not right and that you should pay attention to your eating habits, or to the management of your emotions and stress.

When you lose something very precious:

Losing reminds you that nothing is forever and that transience is present in everything that surrounds us, because everything changes, from thoughts, feelings, health, people, work situation, finances, etc. So the key is to enjoy things but understanding their transient nature. (Not so, very easy).

When someone you appreciate betrays your trust:

Maybe they cheated you, they spoke badly about you, or they put the bucks on you, in short, they stabbed you with a stab; but you realized that this event was necessary so that you could see with your own eyes that this person was not worthy of your trust, thinks that everything was confabulated and the causality did you the favor of taking you out of the way to whom it did not suit you.

When a loved one dies:

You value all the moments you lived with that person, you remember her as she deserves, you pray in her name, you say goodbye beautifully, you live your grief; but you know that the world will continue to move. From then on you begin to express to them more often the affection you have for family and friends, because there is never any certainty of when it will be the last time you enjoy your company.

When things do not happen:

You have had a dream and you struggle to reach it, but the pods did not materialize and all the obstacles had and have arisen. Then you remember that in each case of success, there are many stories of failures behind, many doors closed and many NOT. And this only means that you must understand the reason of the situation, or change strategy, that if things did not turn out it was because of something; Maybe it was not time and you were not ready. That you put your dream on hold, does not mean that you are going to renounce it.

Nobody likes to suffer, in one way or another, we always try to get away from affliction and seek with desire that happiness so longed for. Those desires to achieve a perfect life, prevents us from seeing beyond the pain and appreciate all the good that there is within what we have labeled as bad.

Yes, it's true, you ate shit, but you also learned.

And when you learn it is as if the poop was transformed into fertilizer and that fertilizer is nothing other than experience, as if you recycled from the garbage that raw material that helps you to move forward. And sometimes the problem is not the problem, or how hard it can be the existence, but how we deal with that situation, while most people see an emoji that seems poop, other people, like my niece prefer to see a smiling chocolate ice cream.
