Happiness: a Journey not a Destination

Things only heard now  I want to feel.

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin. 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 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 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 fall ... until winter

until you are off welfare

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!!
