How often do we say, “we will be happy when/if…” to ourselves?
Do we see happiness as a “cheat day food” after finishing a hard workout regime?
Do we see happiness as a trophy after you have won a race?
Do we see happiness as that feeble moment when we have accomplished something?
Do we see happiness as a test to our patience? A pleasure drug that we somehow cannot “have too many”?
Do we only let ourselves to feel happiness when all the self-imposed conditions have been checked off?
How about we change our mindset and re-direct our time, energy, and focus to pleasure that is already accessible now?
Buddhist practitioner and meditation teacher has written a beautiful piece on “Happiness Now”. Sometimes, all we need to do is get over our limiting thoughts.
I hope you choose happiness today, and everyday.
