A high school student thinks, "When I'm out of school and don't have to do what I am told, then everything will be great!" He leaves school and suddenly recognizes that he won't be happy until he leaves home. He leaves home and starts university and soon decides, "When I have got my degree, then I'll be really happy!" Eventually he gets his degree at which time he realizes that he can't be happy until he has a job. He gets his job and has to start at the bottom of the heap. You guessed it! He can't be happy yet. As the years roll by, he postpones his happiness and peace of mind until he gets engaged, gets married, starts buying a home, gets a better job , starts a family, gets the kids in school, owns his home, gets the kids out of school, retires... and he drops dead before he allows himself to be blissfully happy. All his present moments were spent planning for a wonderful future which never arrived. Moral of the story? Live each day to the fullest. Don't postpone your happiness to tomorrow... there may not be another tomorrow to enjoy.
