We have been conditioned by our family, our friends and the world as a whole that happiness is fleeting and that there is always something to be concerned about. As if life has a monster lurking around the corner that waits to jump out the moment you start feeling happy.
But if we rewrote those thoughts that tell us to put our walls up and expect the worse? Honestly, what’s wrong with being happy and sinking into that true feeling of bliss?
Once you can allow yourself to feel the happiness of the moment without the concern for what’s in the future, you can enjoy your present to the fullest.
Try this: In those moments when you’re in a good mood and life feels wonderful, don’t concern yourself with what there is to do later. Enjoy the now, take it in. The future is exactly that, the future. Life happens. It’s up to you how you react to it.
