For decades I postponed my happiness.
"Once I get this degree, then I'll..."
"If I can have that job/experience/partner, then I will..."
"After the kids start school, I'll be able to..."
But happiness doesn't work like that.
'There' quickly becomes 'here', and the finish line keeps moving just out of reach.
Until I finally understood...
The secret to happiness isn't getting what you want.
It's tuning into the magic of what's already here.

"I'll be happy when..." is keeping you stuck.
It took me 40 years to learn these truths 👇🏼
Here are 21 simple ways to start living fully now:
1. Set a 'go home' from work time - and actually stick to it
2. Invest deeply in a few meaningful relationships rather than many shallow ones
3. Find ways to light up others' lives
6. Chase growth instead of goals
9. When life feels heavy, zoom out to see the bigger picture
12. Create your own story instead of scrolling through others'
13. Collect experiences rather than things
14. Adapt to change instead of fighting it
15. Step outside every single day
20. Embrace the beauty of ordinary moments
21. Cheer for others' wins - joy multiplies when shared
Always,
Carolyn
