"X" could be anything: losing ten pounds, getting engaged, finding a new job... even when I seemingly had it all, I still found myself with a nagging feeling of discontent. There was always something else that could be better...a missing piece that would make my happiness puzzle complete.
The past couple of years have been a bit of a roller coaster of emotion (to say the least). They've been filled with highs and lows, but in my old age I've come to a sort of revelation: there will always be something I want to change, and that's perfectly fine. But I need to spend a lot less time focusing on the have nots and put a much higher value on the haves.
And slowly but surely, I think I'm getting there.

ReplyDeleteSeeing "change" as "growth" was a huge lightbulb moment for me. You're always going to want to grow -- nobody wants to stagnate! -- and that comes with change. I'm loving this new SO CHOICE project you're on, keep this stuff coming! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is very timely for me. I have been thinking about the same thing. Like, why can't I be happy with the now? I am always waiting for something else or as you say the "missing piece."
ReplyDeleteSo important to remind ourselves of this and realize how damn lucky we are.
