I think I’m realizing that no job/place to live/external life factor will magically make your life amazing. It’s all about your state of mind really
I’ve seen people be really poor and love their life, and I’ve seen rich people be depressed.
I’m very guilty of saying, “my life will be perfect when xyz happens.” But it’s never now, my life is never perfect NOW.
The more things I gain in life, jobs, apartments I’ve wanted to live at, cities moved to, etc, I’m realizing that happiness and feeling like you’ve “made it” is just a state of mind. Myself, and a lot of other people, often feel like we need something more to be complete, but what if we’ve been complete the entire time?
I think we need to slow down and think about the blessings we have. Before, I’ve let myself feel down about where I am in life, but really I have all that I need. Another purchase or a better job isn’t going to fix that void where happiness lives within us—it’s something we have to fill ourselves. Somehow.
