I’ll be happy on vacation
I’ll be happy when I get this promotion or make this much a year
I’ll be happy when I’m in better shape
This type of thinking is called conditional happiness.
Ever try to walk to the horizon? You could walk for miles and miles and never reach it. Not even getting any closer.
Waiting around for these future events to happen…
It ruins our chance of happiness in the here and now.
That yearning for more, better, someday – is the reason why we’re not happy now.
Its conditional happiness vs present happiness, the here and now
