are you happy now?

Something to share, which I found meaningful. :)

Happiness is a Journey, not a Destination - by Crystal Boyd

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 still 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,
when we 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.

Decide to be happy anyway.

Treasure every moment that you have 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 finish school
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married
Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids
Until you retire
Until summer
Until spring
Until fall
Until winter...
Until you die.

There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
