HAPPINESS IS A JOURNEY

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Do you sometimes think you’ll be happier when you achieve a certain goal? Are you willing to feel miserable along the way because you believe that’s the price you have to pay? Then why do we sometimes still feel unhappy when we’ve reached our ideal weight, found the perfect relationship or moved into that beautiful home? Happiness does not come from anything out in the world. Happiness is created from within. It’s your thoughts – not anything “out there” – that will make you happy.

So I’m calling you out. Yes, you!

The things happening in your life are a result of what is happening in your mind. It’s true! It is not the events of life, but rather your views of those events, that dictate your levels of enjoyment and quality of life. Your THOUGHTS create your life, not the other way around. Life is an inside job.

So what’s the alternative? Thought brings experience to life for all people. If you want to set goals, first look at WHY you want what you want. This is what goal setting looks like from an INSIDE-OUT perspective. Would you still want it if no one else knew about it? If you lived on a deserted island, would it still be important to you? Are you having fun doing it? Focus on a goal that is important to you, not because you’re seeking approval or status or happiness or security. If you don’t want it, then don’t do it. Goals aren’t guaranteed to give you any particular feeling, so don’t put that kind of pressure on them.
