As a child, we are sold into the parental messages the “someday” ideas in our life – “Someday, when I have this, I’ll be happy.” Or “Someday, when this circumstance changes, everything will be better.” We’re unhappy about something now, and we fall for the scam of external happiness – the idea that something outside of us has to change before we can actually feel happy and fulfilled.
But here’s the cruel thing – even when that circumstance changes, or when you get that thing you’ve been angling for, you won’t be happy. Things won’t be okay, because there will be a new circumstance you want changed or a new thing you want.
There will always be another external factor for you to be unhappy about, because if you’re miserable, it’s because you’re not cultivating the practice of meditation and happiness in your own life.
The good news is that when you accept that no one is coming to your rescue but you, then can finally work on rescuing yourself from the stress and unhappiness you’re generating inside you.
