We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.
Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough, and that will be well when they are older.
Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we’ll be happier when they grow out of the team years.
We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his / her act together, when we have a nice car? When we can take a vacation? When we can save more money?
The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when?
Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real Life!
But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished; some time to be given; a bill to be paid.
Then life would start…..
I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life!
That point of view helped me see that there isn’t any road to happiness.
Happiness is the road!!!!!!
So enjoy every moment.
Stop waiting for weight to be lost 10 pounds, for work to begin, to get married, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage to be paid off, to die, to reborn……before deciding to be happy.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination………..
There is no better time to be happy than………….NOW!
Live and enjoy the moment.
Think about it for a moment. Life is very short!!!
The people who mean something to your life are not rated “the best”, don’t have the most money, haven’t won the greatest prize…….
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by………..
