Quote of the day:
"Happiness means feeling you are on the right path every moment. You don’t need to arrive at the end of the path in order to be happy.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh, “The Heart of the Matter”
How many times have you heard someone [or yourself] saying “ I would be happy if _________. ” I would be happy if I made more money or could pay my bills or could buy a new car or could afford a new house. I would be happy if I felt better, if I could get rid of this cold. I would be happy if I found romance or love or sex or someone who cared for me. I would be happy if I could travel. I would be happy if I could go on vacation or if it was the weekend. I would be happy if I could see my family more often or if my family accepted me or if I had family nearby. I would be happy if I had a different job or if I could retire.
So many “ifs”! Is this not part of wishing our lives away, as we concentrate on what is desired/needed/wanted instead of what is present?
Time to concentrate on the journey rather than the destination
