Live, Love, Laugh, Dance...

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids arent old enough and well be more content when they are. After that were 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, we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire. The truth is: theres no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
Here is a quote that comes from Alfred De Souza. He 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."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure is 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.
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you get married, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, summer, fall or winter, until your song comes on, to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Thought for the day: "Work like you dont need money, love like youve never been hurt and dance like no ones watching."
