We convince ourselves that the life is better once we are married, have a baby, then another….. Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them and surely we will be happier when they grow out of the teen years… and so on and the destination of happiness is always awaited. In a way we console ourselves, our life will be better when we have a new car, when we can take a vacation and when we finally retire but the truth is that there is no better time to be happy than now . If not now then when ?
Life is always full of challenges. It seemed that life was about to start . REAL LIFE ! ! but there were always some obstacles on the way, an ordeal to get through, some bills to be paid, some work to be finished and I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life !!! That point of view helped me see that there isn’t any road to happiness. Happiness is the road. So enjoy every moment, don’t count others blessings, achievements, honors, because applause dies away, trophies gather dust, winners are soon forgotten. Remembered are the moments and those souls who were close by.
Some times ago, at the Seattle Olympics, nine athletes, all mentally or physically challenged, were standing on the start line of 100 m race. The gun fired and the race began. Every one was not running but had the spirit to participate and win. Suddenly one boy tripped and fell and started crying. The rest eight stopped and came back. Then all nine walked shoulder to shoulder to the finish point. They found happiness in that ground by sacrificing there wining chance to let their friend not loose. The crowd applauded and people who witnessed still talk about it. Life is very short, and the important is to help others to win. Even if that means slowing down and changing our own race.
