If you keep looking at the future for happiness…

If you keep looking at the future for happiness you'll always have the possibility of achieving happiness but you'll never actually get there.

— from Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)

In the book

The threats to enjoying your life are subtle, and most of them feel like ambition. The receding horizon. If you keep looking to the future for your happiness, you'll always have the possibility of it and never the thing itself — you never actually arrive. Desire, chased blindly, becomes "a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want". — Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)
