Then we are frustrated that the kids aren&#39;t old enough and we&#39;ll be more content when they are. After that, we&#39;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, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there&#39;s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\tIt&#39;s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. 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 with &#8230; and remember that time waits for no one.<\/p>\n<p>\tSo, stop waiting &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\tUntil your car or home is paid off.<br \/>\n\tUntil you get a new car or home.<br \/>\n\tUntil your kids leave the house.<br \/>\n\tUntil you go back to school.<br \/>\n\tUntil you finish school.<br \/>\n\tUntil you lose 10 lbs.<br \/>\n\tUntil you gain 10 lbs.<br \/>\n\tUntil you get married.<br \/>\n\tUntil you get a divorce.<br \/>\n\tUntil you have kids.<br \/>\n\tUntil you retire.<br \/>\n\tUntil summer..<br \/>\n\tUntil spring.<br \/>\n\tUntil winter.<br \/>\n\tUntil fall.<br \/>\n\tUntil you die.<\/p>\n<p>\tThere is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don&#39;t need money, love like you&#39;ve never been hurt, and, dance like no one&#39;s watching.<\/p>\n<p>\tUnknown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>< We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.
