Dance Like No One is Watching
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get
a job, a career, get married, have a baby then another.
The career is frustrating because we are never given our due.
We are not recognized for our hard work.
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, 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.
One of my favourite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin
- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something
to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time to
be served, and 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 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.
Thought for the day:
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one is watching.
