Hi @Captain24 ,

 

Good to see you back today. 

Your feelings are absolutely valid. One thing I do have to say is that my experience of seeking happiness didn’t go too well.

 

The more I sought to be happy, the more miserable I became. I looked at people around me and thought “why have they moved on in life, but I haven’t?” Your probably feeling a similar way.

 

Good news is, when I stopped looking for happiness, I learnt to become satisfied and content with my life. I saw challenges as opportunities to grow and learn as a person. And guess what? Today, I am genuinely so satisfied with life. It doesn’t mean I’m always “happy”, but I couldn’t possibly ask for a better life.

 

I hope you will also find a space where you become genuinely content with what life has to offer - then, happiness will come.

 

Living in the past is depressing. Living in the future is anxiety-provoking. Living in the present means you are in control. It’s your choice. The ball is in your court.

 

Sitting with you,

tyme
