One tends to think that joy will come only after that breakthrough, after that achievement that everyone will hear and see and be marveled. Let me get the job, win that award, get the promotion or marry that rich guy or beautiful woman. These huge events do give joy, but the process of getting to them usually suck out happiness in our everyday lives. One tends to wait for it, wait till one gets it before one can allow joy to flow freely. It’s sometimes like holding the breath. The majority of people who tend to wait for a big thing before letting happiness flow often discount normal everyday life and the bounty of joy it always brings.
