About Me
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'llbe 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. 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. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, " For a real long time it seemed to me that my life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some unfinished business to take care of, time still to be served, a debt to be paid off, and after I take care of all of that then my life will begin. Then one day it dawned on me that these obstacles and challenges are 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. Treaure it even more when you can share it with someone special, it can be anyone, your mom,dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, cousin, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or one of your friends, just someone special enough to you that you are willing to spend your precious time with, cuz always 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 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 winter, until fall, until you're off welfare, until the first of 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.I may only be 26 years old, but I have seen a lot and I have been through a lot in my short time on this earth, and the one thing that has always gotten me out of whatever situation i was in at that time was that no matter what was being said to me or done to me, I've never let anyone take away my spirit and my happiness music layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
