something ready made.
It comes from your own actions.”
-Dalai Lama
I’d be happy if I had a boyfriend.
I’d be happy if my boss promoted me.
I’d be happy if I had a larger house.
It’s not uncommon for people to make
these assumptions–
to believe happiness exists in some
alternate reality where people
and conditions are different.
In a way that’s comforting. It absolves you of responsibility,
and puts the blame neatly on other people’s shoulders.
But it also gives them the power.
You create your own happiness through the choices you make day to day.
Not just the steps you take toward your dreams, but also the choice to enjoy
where you are right now.
The joy you get when you meet new people and learn from them.
The passion you feel when you work on something you love.
The peace you feel when you settle into a familiar routine with family.
It’s all available to you now.
What actions can you take today to create and tap into happiness?
