HAPPINESS ON HOLD
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,are we 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 gain 10 lb.
--until you lose 10 lb.
--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.
