"We convince ourselves that life will be better after we graduate, when we get a boyfriend/girlfriend, when we break up with the boyfriend/girlfriend, when summer gets here, when we go to college, when we get married, when we have kids...and on it goes. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we get our driver's license, when we get a car, when we get a nicer car, when we can afford a nice vacation, 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. 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-a rough week, the big game, an injury of a cold. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.' This perspective helps 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 special people, special enough to spend your time with...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 gain ten pounds, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until sport season, until you turn 16, or 18, or 21, until your song comes on, until this day is over, or this week is over, or this month is over, or this year is over. Like who you are. Like who you are with. Like what you have. Like where you are. Happiness is a journey, not a destination." Thanks Sarah-dude. You started a trend. ;-) |
