Happiness is on the horizon.
Or so it would seem from the numerous self-help manuals that I see when browsing.
But a “horizon” is a mental construct that is always the same distance in the future.
“I’ll be successful in another 3 years – when I’ve achieved the goals I set myself.”
Why keep trying to reach a mental construct?
Why not just stop – and enjoy the view from the beach you are standing on – and the surroundings you can see on either side?
What’s wrong with here, now?
