Be HAPPY right now,,,!!

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, 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 favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souse. 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 still to be served, or 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 that 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/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.

Everything Happens For a Reason...

Once upon a time, there was a King who loved to hunt. One day whilst hunting, the king shot a wild leopard. The king ran towards it to see if it was dead or not, when suddenly the nearly dead leopard jumped up and attacked the king. The chief servant managed to kill the leopard but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious, the king said his servant, “If God was good, I would not have been attacked and I certainly wouldn’t have lost a finger!” The servant replied, “Despite all of these things, I can only tell you that God is great and everything happens is for good. Everything God does is perfect and He is never wrong.” Outraged by his response, the king asked the servant, “If I put you in prison, would you still think that is best for you?” The servant without fear, humbly replied, “Yes my Lord! I would still think that is the best arrangement for me.” The now enraged king ordered that the servant be imprisoned at once. Three ...
