2 things we all easy do are thinking we are/have to be in control of everything in our life to be happy and planning on being happy later when we've got something we don't currently have. But there is no end destination where everything is now great for good and we simply DON'T have control of everything that happens to or for us...no matter how much we want it. We need to learn to flow with what life brings us more, to live NOW rather than putting it off and presuming things will be better when...the mind does not want that. It needs to know how everything will be but it never can. The sooner we learn to spot this, to accept it and then learn to trust ourselves and flow rather than swimming against the tide, the more smooth things will be.
