I found this essay on workmate's wall, found it makes great sense, so sharing wth all of you...<br>
<br>
Dance Like Nobody is Watching<br>
<br>
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, after we have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids arent old enough and well be more content when they are. After that we are frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happier when they are out of the stage. We tell ourselves that life will be complete when our spouse get his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we retire.<br>
<br>
The truth is, there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, when?<br>
<br>
Your life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favourite 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 worked 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."<br>
<br>
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<br>
<br>
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose 10 pounds, until you gain 10 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 a new car or home, until your new car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until the song comes on, until you have a drink, until you have sobered up, until you die you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.<br>
<br>
Happiness is a journey, NOT a destination.<br>
<br>
Work like you dont need money, love like youve never been hurt,and dance like no one is watching!<br>
