“Leave a trail of happiness…and look forward to the days when you can look back,” Milton Erickson
Whatever we do to make us happy, we can collect and put them in our treasure chest. We can save them for later. When we have an investment of happiness, in our later years, we can look back. Our happy events in our lives are the past events that happened to us. When Erickson says to “look forward to the days,” he’s saying to us to anticipate recalling the happy times in our lives. So instead of us focusing on our regrets, he want us to focus on our collected memories of the happy events that took place early in our lives, because these events become powerful resources to our lives later when we especially need them as we age.
