What are you waiting for?

“… why did we wait for anything? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often do preparation, foolish preparation destroy happiness! “Jane Austen, Emma

If I get a new job, I’ll be happy; if I lose weight, I’ll be satisfied, if, but, when… but when is when? You want it so badly and to get it right from scratch. Do you hear this nasty little lie when you listen to your sentences? It’s never the right time; many times, we risk losing the opportunities to be happy that life offers us because it never seems the right time.

Ask yourself this question: What does it mean for me to be satisfied? And what I am waiting for? They seem trivial questions. However, to be happy, we must first understand what makes us pleased with no ifs and buts.
