A common lie people tell themselves to feel better is, “I’ll be happy when I achieve X.” This mindset often leads to the belief that happiness is dependent on external circumstances or milestones, such as landing a dream job, getting into a relationship, or reaching a specific weight. In reality, fulfillment often comes from within and learning to appreciate the present moment, rather than waiting for a particular goal to be met. Recognizing that happiness can be cultivated in everyday life, regardless of external achievements, can lead to a more content and grateful perspective.
