Red face Happiness...

When will you be happy?

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire.

The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now.
If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. 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 with... and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting...
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer..
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die.

There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And, dance like no one's watching.

Default Happiness....

WOW...
That is some serious stuff to think about... well at my age anyway... not all of that applies to me but some. Where on earth did you think of writing something like that. It is truley inspiring. As for moving to the Dominican to be happy... for me doubt that will ever be... its a fantasy world for me but to all of you who plan to move there and he HAPPY... congrats and I believe that you will be.

have any of you moved to DR and been happy really? isn't this kinda problematic? i mean... i'm thinking of moving to DR not because i want to be happy but because i feel good when i'm there... then again.. that was vacation. and that is why i'm asking around... i want to know from people that moved to dr how their transition was.
