Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 I thought I'd share this with my friends. Liz ->> " Dance Like No One's Watching " >> >>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 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 still 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 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 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 there is no better >>time than right now to be happy...Happiness is a journey, not a >>destination. >> >>Work like you don't need money, >>Love like you've never been hurt, >>And dance like no one's watching. >> >>> > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
