I’ll be happy when : I lose 5 pounds, get a promotion,find my dream partner. You’re not alone. It’s called conditional happiness.
The problem with conditional happiness is that it keeps us on hold while we wait for the perfect Life/ Career/ Relationship to show up. Sometimes we’ll take action to get there, like joining a Gym, taking on extra projects at work or giving online dating a go, but still the “ Happiness ” is over there somewhere, just out of reach.
