We always try to convince ourselves that our life would be better tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, we still yet wait for the morrow. And if it doesn't come, we try to do everything even up to the point of not "living" the present just to achieve the happiness we've been waiting for.
For the longest time, we always wonder when our "life" would start. The life of happiness, no pain, no hardships, no sufferings, no wars, no struggles, no debts/bills to pay, no obstacles along the way or an ordeal to get through. Wondering where is the road to happiness.
When is exactly the time for happiness? Is it when we graduate from school? When we land on a high paying job? Or when we get married? Or when you and your spouse got back together after 2 or more years of separation? Or when we're having kids? Or is it when we get to buy the car or house of our dreams? Win the Nobel prize? When we can finally take a vacation? Retire from the not-so-good-paying job? When do we decide to become happy?
Endless questions huh? But deep inside, we all know somehow that the most important things in life is much more than winning or acquiring great things for ourselves to become happy. We know that what really makes us happy is to help others win even if it means slowing down and changing our race or giving up something for others to have.
Our life will always be full of challenges.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.
There is no better time to be happy than NOW.
Live and enjoy the moment.
A very nice and inspirational post.

its all a matter of choice... we can only blame ourselves for the choices that we make...
ReplyDeletechoose to love than hate...
choose to be happy than sad...
choose to be free than be a prisoner of our mistakes...
choose for peace and harmony than war...
