The StrongHer Chronicles

The "I'll be happy when..." trap


Listen Later

How many times have you said, "I'll be happy when I..."? Honestly, more times that I can count. But why not be happy now?

This came to me recently, and I caught myself saying it one day, "Why can't i just be happy!!" Then I got home, looked at my house and realized this is what I prayed, begged, and cried for. I have it now! Why am I not happy with it!

Being happy for what we have right now is not a bad thing. We get to be happy for what we have. I shouldn't have to worry about what anyone else thinks of me and my life. If I am happy, I should be able to show it and share it.

If someone else has feelings about how much i love my life and how happy I am, if it makes them feel anything other than happy for me, then they aren't my people and I don't need to expend any energy on them.

My life = my happiness. You don't have to like it for me to love it.
