A lesson from my daughter

What can we learn from our kids? - a lot, particularly if we take a look at the world with their eyes and stop imposing our ideas on them all the time.

My daughter has taught me a very important lesson, that the right time to be happy is.. Now

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and We convince ourselves that life will be better when they are.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We convince ourselves that life will be better when they are out of that stage.
We convince ourselves that life will be better when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire.
The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ...
and remember that time waits for no one.
