Waiting for the right time
Sometimes in our lives, we wait for things to happen according to our conditions. It's like waiting to do an 'X' thing when a 'Y' condition happens. I'll follow a proper diet when I'll start working out regularly. I'll start writing when I will have enough free time. I'll start my startup when I'll have good enough knowledge and some bank balance.
There was a time in my life when I was just passed out of college. I was looking for a job and that was a quite struggling period for me. I had decided to focus on one single thing and gave up on all the enjoyment in life. Somehow I got my first job but I was not much satisfied with it. Then my hunt for a better job started and eventually, I found one.
After that also I wanted to get a better pay scale and eventually, I got that. So I thought I would enjoy my life to the fullest. But again I had more goals to achieve. In between all these I have realized that I have been postponing my happiness. Hence, this moment is the perfect moment of your life. You had dreamed of this life someday and you have it now. We should not underestimate it.
In all those years, I never enjoyed a festival properly. There were lots of occasions when I missed enjoying those little moments due to some work priorities. As I always say, life is all about maintaining balance. So here comes the life hack, you should change your mindset first because happiness is just a state of mind, not any condition. You have to find happiness at this very moment instead of waiting for the perfect condition. There's a popular Chinese proverb that says: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Cheers!
