Will getting your heart's desire make you happy?
Do you feel that if you could only fall in love/get that dream job/move to Spain/get your novel published you'll be truly happy? Here's what I've learned about achieving your heart's desire....and why it might be more complicated than you think.

But yes, it's very interesting dealing with this 'I'll be happy when....' thinking. I think it's part of being human but also I agree, not the path to happiness. I do enjoy setting goals but often I feel that the process is often more fun than the getting there.
I am someone who constantly "yearns" for the next thing. I am in a state of yearning! An emotional state I felt as a child I know, longing for Daddy's attention and affection! I have a new current heart's desire (having achieved my goal of a home in the countryside) and it's the ideal job. I'm waiting - in that unsettled limbo state - to hear if I've cracked an interview! And yet the sun is shining through my window and I could be enjoying a walk in the countryside with my dogs! How ironic! We humans can be fickle!
