"Tamara Levitt"の名言

Though our path may not always feel easy, it’s the one we’re on, so we may as well find as much joy as we can within it, and there is usually something to enjoy if we look hard enough. We often postpone enjoying what we have right now because of an idea that enjoyment lies in the future. The thing is, once we place our happiness in the future, that’s where happiness stays; we’ll always be chasing happiness without ever managing to catch it. Happiness is right here—right in front of us. And if we continually miss it by resisting it . . . fighting it . . . or reducing it to a means—to an end—then we’re not only disconnecting from the fullness of this moment—but, ultimately, we’ll miss the essence of our life! The future never actually arrives—it’s always the present moment. And if we don’t learn to be happy with it, happiness may always feel out of reach—so look a little closer.

As Walt Whitman said, 'Happiness—not in another place, but this place . . . not for another hour, but this hour.
