- How To Be Happy-Introduction
Is your life passing you by? Are you so focused on your dream that you are forgetting to enjoy every day to the fullest and be happy with where you are and what you have now?
If you are anything like most people that have a burning desire and vision to achieve something,you could be falling into the trap of being so focused on it that you negiect to enjoy each and every moment on your journey to attaining your goals.
I can like it to the tourist who remarked that the country he was visiting had very nice scenery if only the mountains where not blocking the view. He did not see that the mountain were themselves part of the beautifull scenery.
How To Be Happy-The Dilemma
So it goes that we often focus so much on our dreams and that ideal life we want to live next year or five year from now that we forgot about today. Today is a part of the process of getting there and today should be enjoyed as much as when'that time' comes. After all,the pleasure of taking a journey is not in arriving at the final destination, but in enjoying everything along the way.
Have you ever had the impatient feeling that you are not getting to where you want to get quickly enough and therefore find yourself not fully appreciating the there and now? It's as though something is holding back your happiness until you get what you desire. The only problem in this scenario is that, in the meantime, you are unhappy and life is passing you by.
How To Be Happy-The Good News And The Bad News
I have good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that huge house you desire,the car that costs as much as the house,the huge flat screen television and all those wonderful things you are planning to get once you are succesfulwill never make you happy.
The good news is thet , as Abraham lincole stated, "People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be."You therefore have the power to decide to be happy no matter where you are in you life. Do not make the mistake of thinking you will be happy when you are achive this and that in the future.
