Sunday - Dance Like No One is Watching

Dance Like No One is Watching

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a

baby, then another, finish school...

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, w

hen?

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.

" For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin....

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through

first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, 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 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's watching. " (if only in your mind)
