Do It Now

It’s funny how when we were kids we convince ourselves that the adults in our life are in charge everything. Surely we’ll experience tremendous personal success and accomplish all our goals when we finish school and leave home.  After all our dull old parents won’t be in the way.

Nature takes its course, we grow up and leave home and find life can be hard. But we know, once we find that certain special person life will be fine … and it is for a while. Of course, then we marry and have children. Once the children come we discover the children really run things and dictate our actions as parents. We find ourselves frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough to take care of themselves and we’ll be more content when they are. After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We’ll certainly be happy when the kids are out of the house and off on their own. Then 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’re able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire.

The awful truth is, the only time to be happy is right now. What other time do have other than now? There are always challenges – after all challenges help us grow. It’s best just to know this and make up your mind to be happy anyway. Treasure every moment that you have and share it with someone special. Remember, time waits for no one.

Wishing you a larger life,

BB
