After this post at the weekend, we’re continuing the theme of happiness! *celebratory dance* In the video below, Srikumar Rao delivers an inspiring talk on this emotion, describing one of the common thought patterns that stop us from just kicking back, smelling the roses and enjoying it. A business professor and Columbia graduate, Srikumar says it is one simple yet pervasive mindset that stops us from enjoying our lives: the ‘When I have [X], I will be happy‘ thoughts.
I know I’ve been totally caught up in this thought pattern in the past. It’s surprisingly easy to slip into, yet ignores the fact that, beyond basic needs, we have everything we need to be happy right here, right now. The only thing that is stopping us from experiencing this is ourselves: our choices, our level of self-awareness and our behaviour.
