" We are never living, but only hoping to live; and looking forward to always being happy- it is inevitable that we are never so" Pascal
One of the commonest causes of unhappiness is that people are attempting to live their lives in the future. They are waiting… for something to happen first, like when they get married, or get a better job, when they see their debts paid, or when they see their children through college.
Life is after all never going to be perfect. Problems will exists, whatever stage.
Nelson Mandela once said:
" After climbing a great hill, one finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds, to look back on the distance I have come…..But I can only rest a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not yet ended"
Take time to enjoy, the journey and the view.
Enjoy the view savor how far you have come be grateful for where you are along the journey that is your life
Live in the moment . Do not wait to be happy in the future. Like saving sex for old age.
Learn to appreciate the view as it comes.
" The habit of being happy enables one to be freed, or largely freed, form the domination of outward conditions" Robert Louis Stevenson
By learning the happiness habit, you become a master instead of a slave. How can you be happy now is by reframing your view of circumstances and not adding your opinion to things that occur. For example, you may be in a job that you do not like now, but that does not mean you are down and out nor that better days can not lie ahead. You can change your future by accepting circumstances and taking action now. You may say that you will be happy if only you were rich and successful. Maxwel Maltz, author of Psychocybnetics, countered that happiness is not something earned or deserved. It is necessary for health and well being. So to reverse the statement , you should say to yourself. "Be happy and you will be good, more successful, healthier, fell and act more charitably toward others." He mentioned that Harvard psychologists studied the correlation between happiness and criminality and found that a majority of criminals came from unhappy homes, had a history of unhappy human relationships. And a 10 year study of frustration at Yale University brought out that much of what we call immorality and hostility to others is brought about by our unhappiness. And that unhappiness is the sole cause of all psychosomatic ills and happiness is the only cure. "Men are disturbed, bot by things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen." Epitectus Reframe your mind and thinking. Don't defer happiness till later. The pursuit of happiness is not selfish. It is not a reward or a milestone to be reached when you have obtained something in life. It is a your birthright to be claimed. And your responsibility is to be happy. Whatever state of your journey in life. It is a necessity. Life is to be savored and enjoyed. The view is beautiful both at the bottom and at the top. Pursue inner happiness. It will smooth the bumps, and oil the way to future happiness and success.
