Good evening read-friends? How does your Wednesday went? I hope your day went well and that you were able to accomplish the task that you've been meaning to do. It is the middle of the week already and six days after, Jose Marie Chan will be flooding our feeds and our playlists. πŸ˜…

My facebook memory reminded me of a post I once shared. It was about destination addiction. It is a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job or with the next partner.

According to Robert Holden, until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.

This made me ponder, somehow it is true and partly it is not. There are times in life when I feel down and discouraged. Then, I would think about my dreams and when they would come true. I would play scenarios in my head where my dreams would turn into reality. There are things that we want to happen in the future. These are the things that we work for. It could be material things such as car and house and lot. It could be a state of being: financially independent. It could be the capability to travel and buy things without minding its price tag.

I live for those days. When dreams would finally come true. I think when that day would come I would definitely be happy. But that doesn't mean that I'm not happy while I'm still in the process of working to make my dreams come true. Though there are times when I'm going through tough times I would think that the universe is too hard in me, that God is playing blind and deaf to my situation and my prayers. I would want to skip into the whole process of working and stride into the life I've been dreaming of.

But...

Sometimes my dreams get into my nerves that I wanted to get things done and work so hard to be on that particular moment. I badly wanted to be in the future. I'm hasty and uneasy that I forgot to live in the moment.

I forgot to live in the moment

I would seldom spend money to travel even before pandemic. I rarely spend money to buy the things that I want thinking that one day I could buy all those if I would be wise in spending my money now and if I would save more and prioritize the things that matters most.

I live for the future

I live for the future not knowing if I would be there. I live for the future eventhough the picture is unclear. I live for the future eventhough I'm still here. I'm afraid that when I'll be in the future I wouldn't be hapoy there. I'm afraid that when I'll be in the future I'll crave to be here and wish to be in this exact atmosphere.

I don't know if I'm making sense to you. My ideas are all over the places and no matter how hard I try, I seem to not put them in harmony. I wish I could do better next time.

How about you friends? Are you holding your happiness for future's sake? Are you happy now? Will you be happy and feel better when you achieve what you want? Are you not that happy while you are on the process? What are your thoughts? Let me know.

Ang damin questions sa huli. Hahaha. Nahirapan akong sagutin at napaisip ako bigla. Pero syempre matutuwa kapag naachieve ko na yung matagal ko ng pinapangarap. During the process, minsan happy, minsan hindi. Syempre hindi naman kasi palaging smooth sailing kapag meron tayong gustong maachieve. Pero ineenjoy ko ang process in fulfilling my dreams no matter how hard or easy and happy or sad it is. πŸ˜‰

If you sit in front of the computer for 6-8 hours everyday, you have a bigger chance to die early.

I learned to not hold my happiness for tomorrow because we never know if we can even get there. But of course, it doesn't mean we live a carefree lifestyle.

I can relate with you though about the mind going all over the place. I sometimes feel that too :)

Saving for the future is good, but there is no guarantee that I will be in the future. That's why I have to take steps to make myself happy today. I can't spend my days on my crops. A little to the future, most to these days.

I would agreed to you somehow because half of what's written is what I feel too. Though I am sure I am happy today but I am working hard just to see the future. Don't worry den we are of the same boat unto our dreams that seems so unclear. Sometimes I questions if that's really where am going. I want to see but then it's so vague.
