And here is something that arrived in my inbox that I thought would be good to share as food for thought…
WE tell ourselves our lives will be better when we have more time, get a better job, our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.
The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.
Here’s a point of view to help you see that there isn’t any road to happiness.
Happiness IS the road.
So enjoy every moment.
Stop wishing for work to end, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for autumn, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.
There is no better time to be happy than … NOW!
Live and enjoy the moment
Now try to answer these questions:
1. Name the 5 richest people in the world.
2. Name the last 5 Miss Universe Winners.
3. Name the last 10 Nobel Prize winners.
4. Name the last 10 winners of the Best Actor Oscars
Rather difficult isn’t it? Don’t worry, nobody ever remembers.
Applause dies away!
Trophies gather dust.
Winners are soon forgotten.
Now answer these questions:
1. Name 3 teachers who contributed to your education.
2. Name 3 friends who helped you in your hour of need.
3. Think of a few people who made you feel special.
4. Name 5 people that you like to spend time with.
It’s easier isn’t it?
The people who mean something to your life are not rated “the best”, don’t have the most money, haven’t won the greatest prizes …
They are the ones who care about you, no matter what.
Think about it for a moment.
Life is short! Be happy
