We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we have a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there s no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled with challenges. It s best to admit this to yourself and to be happy anyway. 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. 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 your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until Spring, until Summer, until Fall, until Winter, until the first or the fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you ve had a drink, until you ve sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy . Happiness is a journey, not a destination. This month's issue has the usual combination of light-hearted humor, business news, and industry facts.
