Do you know? What exactly will make you happy? How do the stars have to line up..what do you need in your life? Have you ever really thought about it?
Of course "happy" is a state of mind but lots of people connect being happy with reaching a goal or having something or someone in their life.
I ask the question because I had a conversation with someone today. For the last year and a half she has complained on a pretty regular basis about her partner. He was...blah, blah, blah. I listened and tried to be supportive.
Well low and behold today we talked and she complained nonstop about him again and the kicker is...he is doing exactly the opposite of what he had been doing for the last year and a half! He was doing everything he wasn't doing before. Everything she wanted him to do. And all she did was complain. I listened...then said...what exactly would make you happy?
I then pointed out what I just told you. She was quiet for a minute and then laughed.
But you know what...I don't think it's funny. It's a trap you can fall in...get comfortable in and live your life in this state of just complaining. It's not the quality of life I am looking for. I hope you are looking for more too.
So...what exactly would make you happy?
