My life will be perfect when ….
How many times have you uttered that phrase or something like it?
What are your criteria for perfection? A better job? Bigger house? More money? Career? Relationship?
Conditions On Happiness
What do you believe it takes to be happy? What is that ONE THING that you believe will make your life complete, amazing, perfect, whole and happy?
Often you put conditions and restrictions on happiness. You believe that you have to have something in particular before you can be happy such as:
- The perfect relationship
- The perfect job
- A better education
- A higher salary
- A bigger house
- Etc, etc, etc
Do you really require those things before you can be happy?
Perfect Future
When you were a kid, did you decide what your perfect future should look like? Did you had the idea of the job you’d have and who you’d marry and where you’d live and how many kids you’d have and so on and so forth..
Or maybe someone told you what your future should be.
You may not even remember when it was, but it may still be hanging around waiting on you to get it right.
You may not even have the awareness that the blueprint for that future is sitting there waiting on completion and yet you are subconsciously trying to create it. And unless you get it right you won’t allow yourself to be happy.
What if at this point in life, you actually desire SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than you did as a kid?
What if you could release that blueprint and start asking what you’d really like to have as a future. Ask what you’d like to have as a present.
Ask what you’d truly like your life to be.
It’s Your Choice
When you are looking for something or someone to MAKE you happy, that keeps happiness always beyond your reach. There’s always another condition to be met, another item to be attained before you’ll allow happiness to show up.
That keeps happiness as external to you.
It’s not external. As William Arthur Ward said, “Happiness is an inside job.” It comes from within. It is something that you allow yourself. It is something that you choose for yourself. A gift you give yourself.
Maybe it’s time to allow yourself more joy and happiness!
Give yourself the gift of happiness.
It’s your choice!
