Do you ever find yourself playing the "I'll be happy when..." game? You know the one. It usually starts with something like, "I’ll be happy when I get married." You find your dream partner, tie the knot, and BAM! Happily ever after, right? Except… then you think, "Well, life will be perfect after we have a baby." Then you have a baby (or two), and somehow, it’s still not perfect. SHOCKING!
So, what do we do? We keep moving the happiness finish line! "I’ll be happier when the kids are older," you tell yourself while managing the tantrums and chaos. Then the kids hit their teenage years, and suddenly, you’re daydreaming about how much easier life will be when they’ve moved out. Oh, and then there’s the car situation. Life will feel complete when you finally upgrade to that sleek ride that you’ve been eyeing for months. Or maybe happiness is waiting for you on a beach somewhere after retirement when you can sip margaritas at noon without feeling judged.
Let’s face it, we’ve all had those days where nothing seems to go right. Your hair's a mess, your boss is on a rampage, and you’ve spilt tea down your favourite jumper. Sounds like it’s time to press CTRL + ALT + DEL on life, doesn’t it? Well, here’s the good news: you can!
