We convince ourselves that life will be better:
After we get married,
have a baby, then perhaps 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 new 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.
Admit it to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

Alfred D Souza said:
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life
was about to begin - real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served,
a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life".

So, maybe there is no way to happiness.
Rather, happiness is the way.

So then treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it
with someone special:
special enough to spend your time...
and remember that time waits for no one...

And you... what are you waiting for??
Stop waiting UNTIL you finish school,
Until you go back to school,
Until you lose ten pounds,
Until you gain ten pounds,
Until you have kids,
Until your kids leave the house,
Until your dog gets trained,
Until you start work,
Until you retire,
Until you get married,
Until you get divorced,
Until Friday night,
Until Sunday morning,
Until you get a new car or home,
Until your car or home is paid off,
Until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter,
Until the first or fifteenth,
Until your song comes on,
Until you've had a drink,
Until you've sobered up,
Until you die,
Until you are born again…
To decide that there is no better time than right now
to be happy...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Moral of this page:
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Laugh like you have no cares,
And dance like no one's watching.
