Happiness on Hold
We convine ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, and then.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and well be more content 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 the stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his / her acts together, when we get a nice car, are able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire.
The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than rigth now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
Happiness is the way, so treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enought to spend your time with…and remember that time waits no one.
So, stop waiting until your car or home is paid off;
until you get a new car or home;
until your kids leave home;
until you go back to school;
until you lose ten pounds;
until you gain ten pounds;
until you get divorce;
until you get married;
until you have kids;
until you retire;
until summer;
until spring;
until winter;
until fall;
until you die.
There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happines 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.
Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.
