Unlocking Happiness

How often have you caught yourself saying,

"I'll be happy as soon as…"

“I'll be happy when I get a new job.”

“I'll be happy when my kids go to school and I will have more time.”

“Next week is my vacation, and I will be happy then.”?

Whether it might be, we are waiting for happiness somewhere in the future.

And when the future comes we are happy for a few days, and then…

And then we put in front of us a new goal that we need to achieve in order to be happy, or we are totally confused about why we do not feel happy!

The cycle repeats itself: we attain the goal, experience fleeting happiness, and then find ourselves setting new conditions for our happiness.

It's a common narrative, but what if the secret to happiness isn't in reaching the destination?

Many of us are conditioned to believe that happiness is a reward for achieving certain milestones. However, true happiness is a choice we make each day, not a distant point on life's timeline.

We are so trained in our minds to be in a state of waiting for happiness to come that we totally forget to be happy along the way.

Sure, accomplishing goals brings joy, but it's crucial to embrace happiness throughout the journey. It is our choice to be happy while we get there.

And it is the choice that you are making every single moment of your life!

While there are moments of inevitable distress the majority of our experiences are within our control. It's about getting behind the wheel of your life from the passenger seat.

The challenge lies in breaking free from the waiting mentality and choosing happiness in the present. Yes, it requires practice, time, and courage to admit it. To take responsibility. But the results are transformative.

Every moment presents an opportunity to choose happiness. This isn't to dismiss the complexities of life or the genuine struggles we face. Those moments have their unique emotional paths to healing.

However, for the countless instances under our control, why not choose joy? It's a decision, a commitment to savoring the journey rather than waiting for elusive destinations.

For some, embracing happiness might come naturally, but for many, it's a journey that benefits from support.
