What is Destination Happiness?
Are you waiting to arrive somewhere before allowing yourself to be happy?
Have you ever heard of destination happiness?
It’s the most common conversation I have with spirit of the loved ones who left this earth always living in the “somedays” that never arrived.
“Destination Happiness” is a phrase that speaks to the often misguided belief that happiness is a far-off goal—a place we must arrive at after we’ve achieved, healed, succeeded, or become “enough.”
But…the truth is: happiness isn’t a destination. It’s a state of being—one we can cultivate within ourselves right here, right now. The Myth of Destination Happiness that many people unconsciously believe is the place where forever yearning takes away the joy of the moments. “Somedayitis”
I’ll be happy when… I lose weight, find a partner, get the promotion, make more a money, etc. Ya but for how long?
Believing that happiness comes after external conditions are met. Or…that happiness is something to chase, rather than something to embody.
This mindset creates a perpetual delay in emotional well-being. Even when the goal is reached, the happiness is fleeting, because the inner pattern was about pursuit, not presence.
We’ve been told that happiness is a destination. A place we arrive at when we’re finally healed, successful, loved, or “enough.” But what if that’s the greatest illusion of all?
Happiness isn’t a reward for your effort. Too often we have been told, “You will be happy when…” It’s not waiting at the end of a journey. It’s the energy you choose to embody now. It’s in the pause. It’s in the presence. It’s in reclaiming joy even in the in-between.
You don’t need to reach some magical version of yourself to feel joy. You are worthy of happiness right here, right now. Slowing us down is intentional love from the universe, not a cruel joke of the universe’s energy that’s blocking or stopping us. It’s inviting us to move beyond judgment.
The same destination is meeting us all at the end. Who meets us in the middle is too often the reflection of dissatisfaction and not enough, sadly that’s the illusion and lie that’s motivating you.
What have you been telling yourself must happen before you’re allowed to feel truly happy?
“Destination Happiness” is a trap! Constantly feeling like something is missing? Comparing your life to others and feeling behind? Believing joy will only come after a future achievement? Feeling anxious when you’re not “doing” enough? This is exhausting and the energy at this time is inviting you to pause and allow sparkles of joy to remind you of what you have accomplished.
Today is a good day to break free!
Replace “I’ll be happy when…” with “I choose to feel joy even now…”
Celebrate the small wins happiness compounds through moments of gratitude.
Focus on fulfillment , not perfection because trust me happiness isn’t polished. It’s real and raw. In some of the lowest moments of life, some of the most joyful experiences have taken place.
Reclaim your power, you are not waiting for life to give you joy it’s your responsibility to create it.
Define happiness for yourself! Strip away the conditioned dreams. What does your soul truly long for?
Much Love,
