We
Convince
Ourselves
We
convince
ourselves that
life will be
better when we
are married,
have a baby,
then
another.
Then we are
frustrated that
the kids aren't
old enough and
we will 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.
The
truth is that
there is no
better time than
now to be happy.
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.
Treasure
every moment 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 your
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 new
car or home is
paid off, until
spring, until
fall, until
winter, until
summer, until
you are off
welfare, until
the first or
fifteenth, until
your song comes
on, until you
have had a
drink, until you
have 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.
Work
like you don't
need money!
Love
like you have
never been hurt!
And
dance like no
one is watching!

SUCCESS
To
laugh often and
much
to win the
respect
of intelligent
people
and the
affection of
children;
to earn the
appreciation
of honest
critics and
endure
the betrayal of
false friends;
to appreciate
beauty,
to find the best
in others;
to leave the
world
a bit better,
whether
by a healthy
child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed
social
condition;
to know even one
life
has breathed
easier
because you have
lived.
That is to have
succeeded.
(Ralph Waldo
Emerson)
