This is how the mind explains it. Yet, soul would say it just feels right. To find this blog does not make a person happy because happiness exists within all. Happiness is also a journey, not a destination. It is like the skin that covers your body, always within reach, always "there" yet so obvious that it is often overlooked. Films like teh Bucket List remind people that happiness is not a place, a person or a thing you have yet to know. It is a feeling you evoke as you realize you are worthy, loved and deserving. That is every moment of every level of existence. This blog is extraordinary, like everyone everywhere, yet not everyone chooses to accept fundamental truth and with meekness.

Glad to see somebody else discovered this principle before me :) As for procrastination, I actually developed a free course on my blog for overcoming it. Have a look.

This doesn't mean I don't fall into the trap of putting off my happiness until later, but when I do, I usually pull myself out pretty quickly. I wish it was the same way for procrastination though. Sigh.. :) Thankfully, put off my happiness was a mistake I realized early on.

Often in the comments after a profound blog post, a lot of people will simply rephrase the blog post, without adding anything. First I wondered about that. Then I realized that whenever I'm learning something, before I really understand it, I need to rephrase it in my own words. And say it out loud. So today, whenever I see a comment like yours, I think "There's someone who gets it, and they're making sure they really understand it by 'saying it out loud'". So, cheers for that! @Mark:

We all make happiness conditional by saying "I'll be happy when..." But happiness is just a feeling and we can have all the feelings we want right away - even as we work on changing our life circumstances. This is a simple, yet very powerful exercise you suggested - thanks. Cath Great post, Vlad. We all make happiness conditional by saying “I’ll be happy when…” But happiness is just a feeling and we can have all the feelings we want right away – even as we work on changing our life circumstances.
