Getting Everything You Want Doesn’t Guarantee Happiness

If you desire something in your life and think that you will only be happy the moment you reach it, you need to remind yourself that you can be happy right now, even if you are not yet there. Getting whatever you desire in your heart doesn’t guarantee happiness. Don’t be so occupied with the things you want that you tend to forget to enjoy your present.

Happiness is something that you can only find deep within. Please don’t look for it in the temporary things in life. You can enjoy your life right now, even if you are still in the process of achieving your dreams. You can choose to be happy even in the simple things that life offers you. If you can’t be happy now, then you can’t be satisfied in the future either. Don’t wait for some things to happen before you learn to appreciate everything because it might be too late.

I hope that your desires reflect not only the things that you want but also the things that you genuinely need. Because sometimes, what we truly want in life is not what we really need, and we get so frustrated the moment we already reach it. Only then will we realize that we are aiming for something that doesn’t make any sense at all. And we end up recognizing the things in life that truly matters.

Sometimes the most essential thing in this world is just around the corner. It’s not something that you need to reach, but you only need to appreciate it because it’s already within you, and you are also surrounded by great blessings in life. It’s just we fail to identify its value because we are looking for some things we thought that can make us happy.

Life already gives you a lot of opportunities to see the valuable things that truly matter. You just have to open the eyes of your heart so that you will see all of it. It’s a matter of perspective. Maybe you have different thoughts, that’s why you weren’t able to notice the things that are essential enough for you to live. You are already surrounded by a lot of miracles. I hope you will learn to see all of it. 

It’s okay to look forward to your future. But don’t depend your happiness on the things that you wanted to achieve in life. You can decide to be happy right now. Remember that you have the freedom to choose whatever you want. And happiness comes when you learn to choose it over everything that you wanted to accomplish.
