We are conditioned to chase success: 'If I achieve that salary, I'll be happy,' 'If I get that thing, I'll be happy.' 🏃♀️ But the Buddha taught that suffering comes from clinging to the destination (Upādāna). ✨
True happiness is found in the present moment where you are mindfully breathing. Take a moment today to appreciate your 'journey,' full of small, mindful efforts. That is the greatest act of self-compassion. 🤍
