This following entry is a reflection from my personal experiment:
Some time ago, I made a decision — that no matter the circumstances, no matter the challenges I face, I will aim to feel happy first. Even if the challenge feels “too big” and happiness seems far away, I will at least reach for a better-feeling thought.
I decided to stop placing happiness somewhere in the distant future — in a moment that is supposed to bring me joy. Because every time I reached that moment, it never felt like I imagined. Something always seemed missing. Or better said — I felt a kind of emptiness. A gap.
I practised this approach for one month. And in that one month, it became a new habit. From this habit, a new belief was born:
I can feel happy before I see a reason to be happy.
We were taught that worrying shows responsibility, care, or commitment.
But what worry really does is trap us in the state of the problem.
Digging into the details, pointing out everything that bothers us — it doesn’t bring us any closer to the solution we’re hoping for.
Here’s what I’ve come to understand:
When a problem arises — whether financial, relational, or even a diagnosis — the solution is created at the very same moment.
But if we stay stuck in the vibration of worry, we simply can’t see it.
Because the frequency of the solution is different from the frequency of the problem.
This, I believe, is one of the core things successful people do differently:
They don’t bury themselves in worry.
They don’t swim upstream through dense, heavy thoughts.
They decide to look for a new perspective — a lighter one.
They aren’t born under a luckier star or gifted with some secret ability. They have simply made a choice:
To feel better first.
To see things differently.
To trust the clarity will come.
And in making that decision — they not only find the solution more quickly,
they also get to live a more joyful now.
And the now is all we ever truly have.
It holds infinite creative energy — just waiting for you to shape it.
Conclusion:
So today, ask yourself — what feeling am I reaching for?
Because you don’t have to wait for life to change in order to feel better.
You get to feel better first.
And from there — life meets you with more light, more clarity, and more ease.
Choose joy now.
Not later. Not someday.
Now — in this breath, in this moment, in this version of you that’s already enough.
You’re not chasing joy.
You’re remembering it.
