We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby£¬then another. Then we get __1__ because our children are not old enough, and that __2__ will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated __3__ they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be __4__ when they grow out of the teen years.

We tell ourselves our __5__ will be better when our spouse(Åäż) gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a __6__£¬ when we finally retire. The __7__ is that there is no better time to be happy than __8__. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of __9__. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy __10__ it all.

For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start—real life.

But there was always some obstacle(´ìÕÛ) along the way, an ordeal(¿àÄÑ)to __11__£¬ some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be __12__. Then life would __13__. It finally dawned on me that those __14__ were part of life. Little by little, that point of __15__ also helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness.

Happiness is the road. So, __16__ every moment. And bear in mind that __17__waits for no one. So stop __18__school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to __19__ ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, …before deciding to be happy.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.There is no __20__ time to be happy than…NOW£¡Live and enjoy the moment.
