Happiness is a Journey, Not a Destination

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first,

some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.

Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special、someone special enough to spend your time with. Make the most of your time.

Don’t waste too much of your time studying、working、or stressing about something that seems important. Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy. 

Remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you take your last test、until you finnish school、until you go back to school、until you have the perfect body、the perfect car、or whatever other perfect thing you desire.   

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

So work like you don’t need the money,
Love like you have never been hurt,
and dance like no one’s watching.
