I'LL BE HAPPY WHEN …“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present:. -Jim Rohn Have you noticed that the western world seems to have adopted a mass "I'll be happy when" mind-set?. I’ll be happy when… I have lost weight, got a new job, new partner, new car, new business, new house. I'll be happy when…. I get that promotion, have paid of my debts, have more money, am married, divorced or had a baby. I thought like this for most of my adult life. I truly believed that I would be happier when I lost weight. That life would be absolutely perfect. That I would suddenly look in the mirror and be wonderfully happy with who I saw looking back at me. But after losing six and a half stones, that didn't happen. I still felt the same way about myself. We are often so fixated on what we don't have in our lives that we miss the point. I know I did. I didn’t understand that true happiness lies within us, not outside of us. Yes, we can be happy about external events or situations, like a new relationship, a promotion or a fun, pleasurable experience but that kind of happiness is short lived, it fades as quickly as the memory of the event fades The world is definitely changing. There has been a huge shift in consciousness as millions of people around the world have come to the same conclusion. That there must be a better way to live. That our lives are too busy and too stressful. That we often spend so much time either thinking about the past or worrying about the future, that we forget about the present. That this is not a dress rehearsal. That this is our one chance at this life and we must make it count. Life is supposed to be fun, joyful and exciting not sad, dreary and boring. "Happiness is a choice not a destination"
