Be happy now. If you don’t learn to be happy while you’re waiting for what you want, you’ll never be happy when you get what you want. To be clear, happiness cannot be the sole aim of our existence. When I stop focusing so much on what I want, and focus my gaze on what God wants to do in and through me, contentment follows. We can spend so much energy pushing against our reality when life doesn’t turn out the way we planned it. But resisting what is, and trying to control what is beyond our control, can cause anxiety. Frustration takes over. Anger prevails. Instead of making the most of our circumstances, it’s easy to lament the fact that things are not where we believe they should be. What if we stopped pushing against what is and learned to embrace our present circumstances? But truly accepting where we are helps us relax and see the good God has in our present circumstances.
