It seems that life is always disappointing. We 21 ourselves that it will be better after we get married, have a baby, and then another. Then we’re dissatisfied that the kids aren’t old enough and believe we’ll be more 22 when they are. After that, we’re frustrated that we have 23 teenagers to deal with. We are certain that we’ll be happy 24 we are out of that 25.
We tell ourselves that our life will be 26 when we get a great car, when we are able to go on a 27 vacation and when we retire. 28 the truth is:there is no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled 29 challenges. It’s best to 30 this and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my 31 quotes says, For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—wonderful life. But there were always some 32 in the way. This viewpoint has helped me to see that there is no limit 33 happiness. So, 34 every moment that you have now and 35 it with your loved ones and 36 that time waits for no one.
Stop 37 until you finish school, until you start work, until you get married, until you get a new car or house, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you get 38, until you get remarried, until you retire, until spring, until summer…Happiness is a voyage, so you should focus more on the 39, not the destination Live in the moment and 40 it.

When you become a father or a mother, most of your attention shifts from your own future to your kids’ future. But one of the most effective ways to help your children learn to have a big dream is to ensure that your own dreams will not be given up because of trivial things.
Every dream begins from imagination. Spend a few minutes sitting down with a notebook and think about where you would like to be in 20 years. Write down details about all aspects of your ideal life. Feel free to imagine. Don’t worry about whether you know how to get there now—you have 20 years to figure that out.
Making use of your strengths creates good results. You should find out your strengths first.Once you know your strengths, you can make use of them to help you achieve your dreams.
Confidence is the foundation of all your other abilities. “Progress, not perfection” is a saying to keep your confidence high. Every night, write down five achievements that are made that day.
Find ways to add what you love to do to your life now. Making a list of old hobbies is a good way to restore your old interests. Things you’re enthusiastic about have their own store of energy. Connecting yourself with these things can give you a push when you need energy most.
