Postponed happiness
“I’ll be happy when I… get this project over/ get a new job/ clear my loan/ get to the weekend.” is like saying “I won’t be happy until…”.
Who would you like to hang around with?
Is it better to be with happy, relaxed stress-free people, or people with ‘postponed happiness’ who seem to be in a constant state of stress while they work towards a stress-free future?
Happiness does not come from success. Success comes from happiness. Too many people take the past, project it into the future, and live in the present as if the future is fixed.
What would the world be like if we could all lighten up and enjoy the moment?
