We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are fustrated that the kids aren'told enough and we will be more content when they are.
After that, we are fustrated 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, when we are able to on a nice vacation, or when we retire.
The truth is ther's no better time to be able to be happy than right now. When? Your life will always be filled with challenges, I'ts best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. so, treasure it every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time wait for no one
So stop waiting
until your car or home is paid off
until yiu get a new car or home
until your kids leave the house
until you back to school
until you loose 10lbs
until you gain 10lbs

until you get married
until you get divorce
until you you have kids
until you retire
until summer
until spring
until winter
util fall
until you die

Indeed! Too often we wait for life to give us our "big break" when in reality, life is waiting for us to show up:-)

Happiness is a state of mind. It is not bought, found or aquired.
