Conditions vs Happiness
When your happiness depends on what somebody else does or does not do, you’re trapped, because you cannot control what they think or what they do. You will only discover true freedom when you realize that your joy does not depend on anyone else. Your joy only depends on what you choose to give your attention to. .
In every aspect of the living world there will always be that which is wanted and that which is not. In every person, in every place, in every situation, in every moment those choices are always there. The idea is not to look for the perfect place where only things you want exist. The idea is to look for things you want in every place. You will feel better and you will begin to notice things you want to see. Then more of those things become part of your life. .
Most people think that they must first find the perfect conditions, and once they find those perfect conditions, then they can respond by being happy. That is very frustrating to people, because they discover very quickly that they cannot control the conditions. It’s not about finding the perfect conditions. It’s about choosing things to appreciate. The more you find things to appreciate, the better you will feel, and more things to appreciate will keep flowing into your life. This in turn creates the joyful world that you have been so desperately seeking to find so that you could be happy..
Make the decision not to wait for the perfect conditions to be happy. Decide to look for things to appreciate and be happy now.
