We
convince ourselves that life will be 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.
Surely we’ll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.
We tell
ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together,
when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.
The
truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.
If not,
then when?
Your life will always be full of challenges. It is
better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
