Heaven and Hell

Image
After his death, a man was once taken to see both heaven and hell.  In hell there were a lot of people sitting around a table, on which there was laid a sumptuous feast.  But all of them were starving, and crying out in their anguish.  Their arms were much too long to convey the food to their mouths.  Then he was taken to Heaven, where there was an identical scene-people sitting around a sumptuous feast; here too, their arms were too long to feed themselves.  But here there was no starvation and all were satisfied.  They were all busy feeding one another !

Happiness is a journey, not a destination

 "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. 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...and remember that time waits for no one.  So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on.... there is no bett...
