Why Wait

The other day, I was speaking to someone about an issue in my life. This issue was outstanding and I had planned to finalize it in a couple of days. I said to my friend "I will be happy when this is finished".

A bit later I was driving and this conversation came back to mind and I thought why wait. Why do I have to wait to be happy? Why do I have to wait until that particular issue was resolved until I was happy? Why do I have to put a time schedule on my happiness? Why do I have to put conditions on my happiness? I couldn't find a good answer to these questions. I don't have to have conditions on my happiness. I don't have to have time schedules on my happiness.

We say these things so unassumingly and don't even realize what we do to ourselves. Acting this way I can see that there is always something that will be in the way of my peace or happiness. Now that I have this realization, my happiness is not subject to anything, but my current choice. I can be happy with no conditions. I can have happiness right now, why wait.

Thank You

Precious

Good Day

Everyone is precious. From the dawn on our existence to the end, in all of this world and in the countless worlds that may exist and in the countless universes, there exist only one of each of us. If this were true about a stone it would be invaluable. If this were true of a work of art it would be priceless. Why is it not true of each of us. No matter what anyone ever says to you, no matter what you do or what you choose, there is still only one of you. This alone makes each of us precious, invaluable, priceless. There are no exceptions to this.

Please take care of the most precious, yourself.

Thank You
