We convince ourselves that life will
be better after we get married, have a baby,
then another. Then we are frustrated that
the kids aren't old enough and we'll
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 that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be
complete when our spouse gets his
or her act together, when we get a nicer car,
we are able to go on a nice
vacation, or when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy
than right 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 enough
to spend your time with...and remember that time
waits for 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 the house
...until you go back to school
...until you finish school
...until you lose 10 pounds
...until you gain 10 pounds
...until you get married
...until you get a divorce
...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.
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.
