We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married and have a baby than 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 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. 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 obstacles in the way， something to be gotten through first， some unfinished business， 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 is watching.
我们总是对自己说，我们结婚、生子后日子会过得更加舒心些。等到那时，我们却充满挫折感，认为当孩子大了些后，情况就会好些吧。当孩子到了青春期，我们又要处理他们的青春期问题。我们都深信当他们过了那个阶段后，幸福就会降临。
我们总是对自己说，当另一半有条理地过活时，我们的人生就会很圆满。当我们买了一辆漂亮的车后，在年老退休后就能开去度假。可事实上，再也没有比当下更好的时间段了，我们的人生总是充满挑战。不管怎么说，对你我而言，最好是承认这一点，然后开始快乐起来。
我最喜欢尔弗雷德·苏泽说过的一段话。他说：『一直以来，似乎真正的生活即将展开。但是前方总有些东西拦在那里：一些要跨越的困难；一些要完成的工作；一些要支付的账单。当这些事解决后，真正的生活就会降临。后来最终我意识到这些阻碍就是我的人生。』
这样的想法使我认识到，没有通往幸福的路，因为幸福就是路途本身。所以珍惜你的每分每秒吧！
要牢记时不我待。莫等到你毕业之后、重返校园之时才去期待（幸福）；莫结婚、离婚之后才去期待（幸福）；莫等到你膝下绕子、退休后、买新车新房后才去期待（幸福）；莫等到早春迟来、莫等到你重获新生后才认识到人生本是『莫待来日，及时行乐』……
幸福是个过程，而非目的地。因此，工作吧，就像不需要金钱一样；去爱吧，就像从未受过伤害一样；跳舞吧，就像没有人注视一样。
