Will You Ever Be Happy?

"I Will be Happy When". How many times have we all used this phrase? I know I have. As a matter of fact I know I used it last week here in the gym. We use this phrase all the time when we are trying to reach a goal or accomplish something in our lives. It is a phrase that does not make much sense when you think about it. Why would we want to put stipulations on happiness. Stipulations are meant for rewards not happiness. Your happiness should never be considered a reward for achieving or reach a goal.

When we achieve a goal we are definitely happy, but we should also find happiness in the work we are doing along the way. We should find happiness in the effort we are putting in towards our goals. We should find happiness in the attitude we get when we decide to take back control over something that has been controlling us in one form or another. Other wise what is it truly worth to go after a goal if you can't have happiness along the way.

These are the places we find a real happiness. Not just at the end. At the end of the journey towards a goal the emotions are many, not just happiness. Happiness is an emotion we should feel and experience everyday. One of the unique things about happiness is that it can be experienced easily with just oner thought, "Think Peter Pan". All it takes is one happy thought. This is such a true statement. I bet you if you try it you will be smiling in a matter of seconds. So go out and feel and experience some happiness today and take to the sky's and fly.
