Two Lies That Hijack Your Happiness

They’re born as thoughts.They mature into beliefs.

Fully grown, they have the power to influence our attitude and behavior.

Lies.

Two of the most prevalent lies that trap us are the conditional proclamations structured in the form of:

“If/then” and “When/then”

• “If I was the boss, then things would improve around here.”

• “When I get a bigger house, then I’ll feel successful.”

Here’s how these lies work: ‘if’ and ‘when’ are in the future. We, however, exist in the now. Believing these lies cause us to live in a constant state of deferred happiness.

There will never be a golden day or a magical circumstance that has the power to make us happy. It is simply a choice offered to us in the current moment.

Are you choosing the truth of now our the lies of later?
