Happiness is the way

      We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get a decent job, after we get married, have a baby and then one other. There-after we are annoyed that kids aren't growing faster enough and we will be more content when they are old enough to take care of themselves. After that we are frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with more carefully, and that we will certainly be relaxed when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that 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 and so on and on. The truth is there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not now when ?

     Your life will always be filled with challenges and expectations. It's best to admit this to your self and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time 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, or 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 share 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 you kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until the friday night, until the sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid of, until your get US Visa, until you get your Green Card, until you get a pay hike, until your stock portfolio bulges, until spring, until summer, until fall, until you are well-placed, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you you had a drink, until you have sobered up, until you die, until you are born again!!! Learn that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is journey, not a destination!

"Yesterday was only a dream,
Tomorrow is only a vision,
But a well lived today, makes
every yesterday a dream of Happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of Hope"

KARMAYOGA..... "Just do your own Karma ardently leaving part of your mind on God Like a woman loving her swim yet keeping her hairdo unharmed" Said Sri Ramakrishna

The Zimbabwe Connection... It is said that at every instance in life there is a lesson, if only u want to learn.., at every step there is caution if only u want to stop and circumspect.., at every dawn, a responsibility a duty which may shape the course of future things..
