who wrote it but whoever did, hit the nail on the head.
Read on. You'll be a much better person for doing so.

BETTER LATER?

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get
married, have a baby and 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, times 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 a new home, until
your new car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer,
until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until
the first or the fifteenth, until your song comes on, until
you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die
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 THE MONEY,
LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HURT AND DANCE LIKE NO ONE'S
WATCHING.
