There are two choices.
1) Constantly look toward the future for fulfillment.
“I’ll be happy when…”
“Once I do x then I’ll feel y.”
“As soon as I have x then I’ll be y.”
We can look for tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes.
It’s always today.
2) Choose to be happy and fulfilled now.
What if this moment, in all its chaos, in all its uncertainty, in all its discomfort…What if this moment right here and now were perfect?
Happiness can’t be something we become, only something we can be (deep).
If you delegate your own happiness to your future self, you’ll just run into the same thing you’re feeling now, later.
Don’t procrastinate your satisfaction.
Feel that shit right here and now.
