We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, and have a baby. 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 always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said."for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, someting to be gotten through , such as, 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." 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 remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; 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.So, work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.
幸福是一種旅程
我們總是說服自己相信,當(dāng)結(jié)婚、生子后日子會過的更加舒心些。接著我們因為那些小鬼不懂事而感到失望,當(dāng)他們大了些后,才會變得舒心吧。之后當(dāng)孩子到了青春期的時候,如何跟他們相處又會使我們不知所措,我們都深信當(dāng)孩子過了那個年齡段后,我們就能過得幸福了。
我們總是告訴自己,當(dāng)另一半有條理的過活時,我們的人生就會很圓滿。當(dāng)我們買了一臺漂亮的車子后,我們認為可以在年老退休后開去度假??墒聦嵣?,再也沒有比當(dāng)下更好的時間段了,要不是現(xiàn)在這時,那么還能是什么時候呢?我們的人生滿是各種神奇的未知數(shù)。不管怎么說,對你我而言,最好是承認活在當(dāng)下里的意義然后及時“自己給自己找樂”。
我最看中一段爾弗雷德.蘇澤說過的話。他說“一直以來,我感覺的是真正的生活就要來了。但是在前面總有些東西攔在那里,一些問題必須先被搞定后才能進行下一項,比如未完成的工作,做事時等著輪到自己的那段時間、等待著交錢的帳單。”
當(dāng)這些事解決后你才能開始自己的一天。后來我才覺悟到解決這些生活瑣事的時候就是我的人生。懷著這樣的想法使我認識到幸福是沒有方式去追求尋找的。因為尋找幸福的過程本身就是幸福。所以珍惜你所擁有的點點滴滴。
而且還要牢記時光不會等待你我。于是莫等到你畢業(yè)之后、重返校園之時再去等待幸福;莫等身陷圍城之中,來來往往,進進出出后才去等待幸福;莫等到你膝下饒子、莫等到你老來歸園、莫等到你了自己買了新車、莫等到你喬遷新居、莫等到早春遲來、莫等到你重獲新生后才認識到人生本該及時行樂......
幸福是一種旅程,在尋找幸福的這條路上沒有終點。那么,盡情工作吧,不要受金錢所羈絆;敞開心扉去愛吧,不要在乎曾經(jīng)受過傷害;自由舞動吧,不要理睬旁人的目光。
