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'll 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, or 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. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you have shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. . . and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting...
until your car or home is paid off
until you get a new car or home
until your kids leave the house
until you go back to school
until you loose ten pounds
until you gain ten pounds
until you finish school
until you get a divorce
until you get married
until you have kids
until you retire
until summer
until spring
until winter
until fall
until you die
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So, work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
and dance like no one's watching.

I got this passage from Charmaine which i thought is quite true. I mean, amidst all the hustle and bustle, sometimes i even tell myself i will be happy later. But right now is the right time. So yeah. This morning i woke up and saw a really nice sunrise. I wonder when i look at the same sunrise three years later, what would i feel again.
