But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. Life is what happens when we are making other plans. 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. Work like you don't need money, love like you have never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching. The Rev. Dr. Albert Lawrence presents and discusses spiritual topics on a monthly basis in Tidings, Church of the Ascension's monthly newsletter.
