Don’t put off happiness

I used to put off happiness because I thought there was a quota. That I was only allowed so much. And I was SO wrong!

When I looked at a plate of food, I wouldn’t eat the food I liked the most, I’d save it for last. Eating all those things I liked less, first.

When I would go on a business trip we’d always planned one night of fun, and it would always be the last night. That way, we could look forward to it. The problem was, by the last night, everyone would be too tired to really have fun.

I approached doing something that made me happy like there was a limit on happiness.

Big Ah-Ha!

Being happy today doesn’t mean that I can’t be happy tomorrow!! Enjoying this moment doesn’t mean that I won’t enjoy the next.

The other shoe doesn’t always have to drop….or if it does, may be it’s to dance in stilettos or run barefoot in the sand.

There doesn’t have to be a limit on happiness! Don’t put it off. Soak it up. Drink it in. This moment and the next and the next. They all await our embrace.
