It used to be a combination of

“If not now, when?”
and
“What’s stopping you?”

I figured out what was always stopping me, my biggest enemy was me and I never reconciliated with that fact.
Once I dealt with it, it’s like it never existed.
If not now, when is something I’m still struggling with.
What’s stopping me now is my mental limitation to process and understand things that should progress my life, on everything I want to progress now.

Lately I’ve adopted a new motto.

“We’re here for a good time, not a long time”

Happiness works in small sparks to keep it going and it blooms into a beautiful lasting experience.

I was always told my happiness is temporary, never cherish. I was raised to believe happiness was a task that needed to be done and not something achievable and experienced everywhere
I can.

I had to learn this for myself. A bit too late in life.

After a long time, I stepped out of my comfort zone of scheduled and sanctioned happiness and realized I was chained to an imaginary floor of despair.
I’m trying to indulge in more things that make me happy.
I hope these decisions make me happy.
