Dance Like No one’s Watching
I was at the chiropractor’s yesterday and as we were talking we got on the subject of being content where you are right now. He read me a poem that he had in his drawer and made me a copy of it because I loved it so much. Here it is, not really sure who it is by some sites say Ronnie Light, some say Crystal Boyd. Whoever wrote it though it’s an awesome poem.
We convince ourselves that life will be better after
we get married, have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough
and we’ll be more content when they are.
After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.
We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our
spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer
car, 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.
So, stop waiting
–until your car or home is paid off
–until you get a new car or home
–until your kids leave the house
–until you go back to school
–until you lose ten pounds
–until you gain ten pounds
–until you finish school
–until you get a divorce
–until you get married
–until you have kids
–until you retire
–until summer
–until spring
–until winter
–until fall
–until you die
There is no better time than RIGHT NOW to be happy.
Happiness is a JOURNEY, not a destination.
So — work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
And dance like no one’s watching.
Life goes by in a flash, I can’t believe I’ve been out of school for three years already. It seems like yesterday I was graduating, now I’m getting married, it’s crazy. It’s easy to wish away where we are right now, but truth is, God has placed us in that moment for a reason. Don’t be so consumed and think that life will get better when… You’re missing the moment right now where God want’s to use you, shape you and mold you into the man or woman God is creating you to be. Life can throw you curve balls and it can be tough, but the one thing that you have control of is will you let tough decisions steal your joy?
