Are you an over-achiever? A goal setter? Do you overcome obstacles and setbacks to get what you really want? Good, you are in the minority! Do you promise yourself after all the hard work, after all the blood, sweat and tears, when the conditions are right.... you'll be so much happier because you've attained the goal? When you have the money, the resources, the right career, the right partner, the house of your dreams.....etc..... you'll be happy, right?
This almost never happens. Know why? Happiness is not determined by exterior conditions. You get the goal....and if you don't "feel" happier, you just set a bigger goal! I'm not saying this is bad. I'm also not saying that achieving goals won't give you a temporary boost, it will ; but your happiness is not determined by anything you've achieved ....it's a state of mind that you give to yourself. When you give yourself the gift of happiness, you can experience joy no matter what your conditions are. Give yourself happiness. Be joyous today. I find that happiness comes easiest to me when I am in a state of gratitude. I can always find something to be happy about when I help others also. Go forward and do something nice for somebody today....and allow yourself to be HAPPY. Love, Jeremy
