The problem is we think we have so much time.

We might be :

Waiting for someone else, maybe a lover to change, to be happy.

Waiting for a lover who has a partner to leave their partner, to be happy.

Waiting for an ex to change their mind and come back, to be happy.

Waiting for a crush of 2 years to come forward and ask us out, to be happy

Holding on to someone who is now married to someone else.

Waiting for an apology from a child or parents, before they can be happy in life.

Or waiting for someone secure to date them while our someone is not even learning to become secure or happy alone.

Waiting for a romantic relationship to be happy.

Staying in a toxic relationship for the kids, before they can be happy.

Grieving the loss of money, a home or a car that they lost years ago, waiting for more to be happy.

Yet, one thing is certain.

Time is flying.

Each day we live, we die a little.

The only moment we have is now.

These things we wait for might not come.

If something is good for us, it will not make us unhappy.

If they come it is not likely we can enjoy them, because someone is now used to unhappiness. That is why people self-sabotage

Remember,

▪︎Each moment we live, includes the full tenure of life. We cannot get back any time lost while waiting for change.

▪︎What we do not have right now is not ours. What is ours is what is in us.

▪︎ All that is ours is what is in us, not what we can put down or pick up.

▪︎The more unhappiness we expose ourselves to, the less easy it is to turn that around. The more we accept it to be a normal part of life.

▪︎The more we desire, the less likely we are to be happy with what we have.

▪︎The less we prioritise our wellbeing, the less likely we come across anyone who does.
