You’re bored. You’re anxious. You’re angry or you’re sad.
You think you’ll be happy if…you get that new job, a raise, new clothes, a new car…
But actually, you already have everything you need to be happy.
Any sign of discontent means you need to SUBTRACT something: stress, work load, self-expectations, junk food, social engagements…THOUGHTS.
Thoughts can be our enemy. Thoughts can drive you crazy. As Mickey Singer (The Surrender Experiment) points out, “anyone who has ever committed suicide did so through thoughts.”
So if you’re anything less than happy right now, consider subtracting something in your life.
Love this! I think for me, I need to subtract self-expectations…..They can weigh a ton and make me miss some of life’s greatest moments. 🙂

Isn’t it great when we can just enjoy the present moment with no expectations of ourselves or anyone else?
