If Happiness Feels Elusive, Read This
If you’ve ever told yourself… “I’ll be happy once things fall into place” – keep reading…
The mistake in that statement is waiting for happiness instead of practicing it. Life is too uncertain for a strategy like that to work. Delaying happiness until all your ducks are in a row means it will never happen, because all your ducks will never be in a row. Happiness is a practice, not a destination. That might sound soft and fluffy, but it’s actually a powerful shift. Practicing happiness means you stop waiting for the storm to pass and start finding good things even when it’s raining. It’s less about a flawless future and more about small, quiet wins in the present:
- That first sip of coffee in the morning.
- A song on the radio that makes you sing along.
- A hug that lingers a second longer than usual.
It’s not about a perfect future. It’s about small moments now. The bottom line: If you can’t find happiness in today, tomorrow will not magically give it to you.
