"I'll be so happy when the baby is finally out of diapers." "When I get that big promotion, my life will be awesome!" "I know that if I can just find a partner to love me again, then everything in my life will finally be okay."

We can spend our days and lives waiting for "tomorrow" to find happiness. The idea that when such-and-such occurs, then we'll be better. This idea is false. We can relentlessly pursue our own happiness right this very moment. The sad truth is that after surviving betrayal or emotional abuse, if we don't focus on ourselves and do our healing work, even if we met someone, we probably won't be happy. Happiness is something we can find for ourselves and should find for ourselves. Don't wait for tomorrows. What is one thing you can do today to find a small moment of happiness...now?!
