How often do you hear people say
"I will be happy when ..."such as "When I get that thing, I will be happy,"
"I will be happy when I pass the exam" and "I would be happy if I had more money".
I have heard these things before and I am sure that I will hear them again.
Many people want to believe that finding happiness
is all about finding or getting something that they want. However,
not many people have ever found long-term happiness by achieving a goal.
There will always be another thing that they want.
There will always be another exam or another dollar.
