Hello everyone welcome to my weekly audio journal.
Today I'd like to share a quote by Epicurus "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not. Remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
This quote reminds me of a lesson that I learnt from Vishen Lakhiani about the happiness gap. There will always be things that we want to strive for like goals, ambitions but of course we are in the present when we are yet to have those things.
Where the struggle is though we constantly have those ambitions and visions in our mind. Our desire for it is so great that we begin to suffer in the present moment. Instead if we can pause and practice what we are grateful for each day for the things that we have now because once they were also things that we dreamed of having. By achieving happiness in the present moment and keeping the future vision in mind, we can close the gap of happiness.
Thank you everyone for listening.
