You’ll hear people say, I’ll be happy when…
- I get a new job
- I get a new boss
- I get a new man/woman
- I get more money, a house/car
Yet, you know when you hear them say it, it’s just not going to be enough…to be happy.
In fact, one could argue that the “I’ll be happy when” story they tell themselves, makes them happy to just say it.
It is something to look forward to right?
Well, as I said…it’s just not going to be enough.
They (you, me) will find something else to long for, want, and desire to “be happy.”
The answer it in this quote.
You have to design happiness, in the present not the future.
What makes you happy today? Right now?
Longing for, wanting and desiring more of “designing your happiness” in the present is really the pursuit.
It’s the stuff of a truly fulfilled life!
