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, when we retire.
than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It is best to admit this to yourself and decide to be
happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes
from Alfred D Souza. He said:
"For along time it has seemed to me that life
was about to begin-real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotton through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served,
or debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that
these obstacles were my life"
This perspective has helped me to see that
there is no way to happiness.
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....and remember
that time waits for no one!
until you loose ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave
the house, 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 you are off of welfare, until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on, until you've had a drink,
until you have sobered up, until you die to decide that there is
no better time than RIGHT NOW to be happy!
Happiness is a journey, not a destination!
Put back on your new found WINGS and SOAR!
