Think about how many times you have said to yourself, "I will be happy when I retire in ten years. That is when life will really be good!" Or, I will be happy when I get a different job." Or when my husband gets his act together. Or when the kids grow up. Or when I get that promotion at work.
It is so easy to postpone today's happiness on the belief that when your situation changes, your level of happiness will also change. So often we believe that our circumstances, and not us, are in control of how happy we are. In reality, our circumstances do not define our happiness. What does define our happiness is what we tell ourselves about our circumstances, and the choices we make as a result.
With greatest love and respect for you, Donna Daisy
