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 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 lose ten pounds
--until you gain ten pounds
--until you finish school
--until you get a 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.
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.
Hope for the best and never
forget that anything is possible as
long as you remain dedicated to
the task.
