Far too often people chase happiness as if it is something that can be bought or found. People believe �when I lose the weight i'll be happy�, �when I get married i'll be happy�, �when I get a raise i'll be happy�.
The problem with timelined happiness is that you just limit yourself to being happy at that moment in time which you have targeted. Instead of timelined happiness let yourself be happy everytime you are doing something that moves you toward your goal or better yet, just let yourself be happy.
Happiness is all about rules. We are only happy when our happiness rules are met. The odd part is that we set our own rules. The problem is that most people don�t set their own rules, they let their peers, family and society set their rules for happiness. If you haven�t noticed by now these people don�t always have your best interests in mind, nor do they have a clue about what should make you happy
What has to happen for you to be happy?
What if your new rule was to be happy each time you blinked, breathed, or moved your hand? Then you would have to be happy all the time, wouldn�t that be terrible?
If you found out that you won the lottery 99% of you would be happy, not happy because the lottery made you happy. Happy because you allowed yourself to be happy, because your personal rules state that if you win the lottery then you get to be happy.
Life does not have to change to make you happy, your mind has to change to make you happy
