When “X” happens then I’ll be happy. X can be anything:
Getting a new job or promotion. Meeting that new special someone. Buying a new car. Moving into your dream house. Graduate college.
The problem is that there will always be another “X”.
True happiness comes from being in the present moment.
The “When and Then” trap looks like this
If I can just get this done , then I can finally relax…
When I have more money, then I will be happy…
When I get a new job, then my life will be better..
Live in the present moment and realize that true contentment comes from the inside.
