How often do you hear people say “I will be happy when …”such as “When Iget that thing，I will be happy，” “I will be happy when I pass the exam” and “Iwould be happy if I had more money”。 I have heard these things before and I amsure that I will hear them again。
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding orgetting something that they want。 However，not many people have ever foundlong-term happiness by achieving a goal。 There will always be another thing thatthey want。 There will always be another exam or another dollar。
To break this vicious cycle，we must find our happiness somewhere else―within ourselves。 In other words，happiness is pletely an inside job。 The keyto finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather than theresult of an experience。 We have been given everything
We need to be happy。 Allow yourself to choose happiness。 If life wasperfect，would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with ourchoices。 Since we can create life，we can create happiness and choose how muchbetter our lives can get!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is，and that our livesare the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment，can weaccept the joy and the happiness we deserve。
