Do you delay on your own happiness right now!? For me, it's an
obvious outcome of a mind that is motivated by pleasure and pain; occasionally
your mind is going to do whatever it can to avoid that pain (or perceived pain
at least) because, to be quite frank, it can think of better things to do. You
think about doing that job that needs done, you can't be bothered because its
boring/painful/hard/long/dirty (delete as applicable) your mind gives you a
picture of something much more interesting like doing nothing or eating
chocolate. Pleasure wins.
So why then do we procrastinate
on our own happiness? Why do we say things like 'I'll be happy when...? ‘Or
'I'm going to wait until I have a new job before I lose weight/leave the bad
relationship/get the good relationship' or whatever it is you say that delays
the onset of the life you want. This type of behavior suggests that we perceive
some sort of pain with being happy, does it not? Otherwise, why would we wait? Like
right now!?
I think the pain we
associate with happiness is our fear that happiness is fragile, a delicate,
precious thing that is easily cracked, smashed or stolen especially by other
people. We think we have to be bulletproof to allow ourselves to show our
happiness to the world. You have to show your happiness to the world in order
to become bulletproof.
Happiness, whatever that is
for you, is waiting for you right now. You can have it now if you choose to, I
promise. Why not decide to be happy right now and use that as fuel to leave
your crappy relationship? Why not decide to be happy right now just because you
ruddy well can?
I'm not that bothered if
you procrastinate about cleaning your bathroom. To be honest in the grand
scheme of things it's not going to make that much difference to your life
(unless its really bogging then gets your finger out ya manky so and so!!!!).
The longer you wait, the
less time you get to enjoy it. Face your demons, confront your fears, start
doing and stop waiting.
Be strong. Be happy. So
back to question early, do you delay on your own happiness right now!? Don’t do that!
