The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled with challenges. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten thru first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. 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. Happiness is a journey not a destination. If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man he saw it too. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
