Happiness is a journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,
have a baby, than another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old
enough and we'll be more contet when they are. After that we're frustrated that
we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of
that stage.

We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse
gets his or her act together. when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a
nice vocation when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right
now. If not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best
to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said."for a long time
it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always
some obstacle in the way, someting to be gotten through firest, some unfinished
business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my
life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish
school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get
divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or
home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better
time than right now to be happy….
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.So, work like you don't need
money, love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching. |
