Whether that is …
‘I will be happy when I graduate college/university’ 👩🎓 or
‘I will be happy when I land a dream job’ 👨⚕️or
‘I will be happy when I find true love’ 🥰 or
‘I will happy when I buy my dream car’ or
‘I will be happy when I make my first million’ etc

In other words, you are waiting for some event to occur in the future thinking that it will bring you incessant joy/happiness. And so you delay feeling happy or joyful now. 😑 This can actually be a recipe for a miserable life , sadly 😥 and I know how that feels as I had lived like that for a while.
In this video, I share some of my experiences with this syndrome and what I continue to do to overcome it. I hope it helps someone who’s currently battling with this “I will be happy when I…” syndrome 🙂
“The journey is part of the process…”
“Enjoy where you are now while you work hard towards where you want to be.”
