We cannot reserve happiness for when we achieve an end result. There is no guarantee that we will be happy once we reach it. Our chances of happiness at the end is increased with feeling happy now.

Happiness is not at a destination waiting for us. If it was, it would get bored pretty quickly as happiness is fleeting. However, if we allow ourselves to feel happy now, then happiness is more likely to stick around.

Showing a commitment to happiness now is putting a ring on it, telling happiness that you’re with it for the long haul, and you can rely on each other through sickness and health. Choosing happiness now allows the Universe to conjure up many possibilities for us because we are no longer seeking that one scenario, that one end result we had in mind. Instead, many doors open as they all want happiness to enter them.
