I was having a conversation with someone today. That person mentioned that he can only get happy until he accomplishes his goal that there is something he’s been chasing for quite some time and he can only be satisfied when he achieves it. He said goals will make him so happy which brings me to the topic of today, how people connect their happiness with their achievements or goals.
Most people postpone their happiness by attaching the happiness to their goals. I can tell you that there is nothing bad in you being much happier when you achieve your goal, but it will be a terrible thing for you to tie your happiness with your goal which means if you can’t achieve your goals you be less happy. This is the main reason why when people are going through some phases in life they are always unhappy because that stage of their life has so much influence on their happiness.
How People Postpone Their Happiness

When you tie your happiness to your goals, you are simply telling yourself that you will be happy tomorrow and that the tomorrow we are talking about here may not come. Imagine connecting your happiness to your goal and your goal did not come. It means that you might never be happy. This is the stage where some people find themselves because nothing is designed to be easy and when you’re going through a difficult phase you will be sad until there is a change that is when you get your happiness back.
 We have some people who are going through difficult challenges and they are still smiling through it this is not because their challenges are easier or they have a superpower. It is just because they find a way to remain happy when things turn sideways or when they are going through difficult times and that’s how they were able to do that. They did not connect their happiness to their goal or challenges because if they have done that and they are going through difficulties without achieving anything they will be sad throughout that phase.
I will be happy tomorrow
We need to remember that there is a process to everything and in the process, we must live through it. Some people are not living, imagine being sad for the best part of a year. People are in constant sadness because they are going through a lot. It’s not going to be easy but we must find a way to be happy. We must not let situation, goal, or success determine our happiness because if we do we are only postponing our happiness and it may not come.
