Happiness is letting go of what you assume your life is supposed to be like right now, and sincerely appreciating it for everything that it is. So, RELAX. You are enough. You have enough. You do enough. Breathe deep… let go, and just live right now in the moment. What do you appreciate most about your life right now? Why?
Hm. I mean, my life is, like, 90% privileged and 10% awful, so I really shouldn’t complain about anything; but there’s a difference between “I feel duty-bound to appreciate this” and “I actually appreciate this.” I suppose what I do genuinely appreciate is how easy it is for me, partly due to circumstances and partly do to my own mindset, to view my life as an interesting story. Of course that can be a dangerous trick to pull.
