“If you strive for happiness, you’ll never find it. Happiness is only found in the present.”
Steve Pavlina
I guess it's much better late than never, but...things could have been much easier for me at various points in my life, if only I'd learned this sooner.
I had a very Oprah-esque Aha! light bulb moment this past week, and I really "get" this now. Life is too short to spend my time worrying... obsessing... thinking (and over-thinking) about what the far off future holds, because, not only do I have no control over that at all, but it stops me from being happy right now. The only way to really live happy is to be fully present..in this moment. The future will take care of itself.
