We always convince ourselves that life will be better alter 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 always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, and are able to go on a nice vocation, when we retire. The truth is,there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred 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, 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 remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school,until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids, until your kids leave home;until you start work, until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; 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. So, work like you don' t need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.
我们总是说服自己在我们结婚生子后，生活会变得更美好。然而接下来我们又为孩子太小而烦恼，同时又认为等孩子大了，我们的生活会更令人满意些。但等孩子长大了，我们又为要照顾十几岁的孩子不开心。这时我们又想等孩子过了青春期，我们肯定会幸福。
我们总是告诉自己，只要夫妻双方消除分歧，只要我们有一辆更美观大方的汽车，并且能度一次美好的假期，只要我们退休了，生活必定幸福美满。而事实是，现在才是黄金时期。若非此时，会是何时?我们的生活将总是充满挑战。我们最好承认这一事实，不管怎样都要保持快乐的心境。
我很欣赏弗雷德·苏泽的一则名言：“长久以来我一直觉得生活就要开始——一种真正的生活。但总有一些障碍，比如：急于完成的事务、没有干完的工作、仍要任职的时
期、未偿还的债务，这些都得先克服，然后真正的生活才会开始。终于我明白了不断克服障碍才是我真正有意义的生活。”这一观点使我明白没有通往幸福之路。幸福本身就是这条路。因此，珍惜你所拥有的每一刻，记住时不待人。在你完成学业，在你重返学校，在你结婚，在你离婚，在你生子，在你的孩子离开家，在你开始工作，在你退休，在你有了一辆新车或一个新家，在春天来临，在你获得新生时，记住此时此刻才是最快乐的…
