Happiness Is A Journey

Happiness Is A Journey

                —–By Father Alfred D’Souza

 

For a long time it 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 there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, someone special enough to spend your time with.

 

Make the most of your time. Don’t waste too much of your time studying, working, or stressing about something that seems important.

Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy.

 

Remember that time waits for no one.

 

So stop waiting until you take your last test, until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you have the perfect body, the perfect car, or whatever other perfect thing you desire.

Stop waiting until the weekend, when you can party or let loose, until summer, spring, fall or winter, until you find the right person and get married, until you die, until your born again, to decide that 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 the money, Love like you have never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

参考翻译：

 

长久以来，对于我来说，生活好像即将要开始，现实生活
但是，（在通往幸福的路上）总有一些障碍，一些事情先待解决，一些未完成的事情，时间总是（匆匆）度过，又总觉得不够用，这就是即将开始的生活。
最后，我明白了，通往幸福的路是没有的，（因为）幸福（本身）就是这条路

 

所以，珍惜你所拥有的每一刻…

最大限度的利用好你的时间，不要在学习，工作或是一些看起来重要的事情上浪费过多的时间

做你想让自己感到幸福的事情，做一些让你所关心的人感到幸福的事情。记住，时间不等人

所以停止等待，直到你完成最后一次测验，直到你完成你的学业或是重新回到学校。直到你有完美的身材，完美的车，…或是其他你渴望得到的完美的东西

停止等待，直到周末，你可以开Party或是放松放松。直到夏天，秋天或是冬天，直到你找到你的Mr/Miss right ，结婚。直到你去世，直到你重生，你会认识到没有比此时此刻更幸福的时刻

幸福是一个旅程而不是一个目的地

所以请像从未受过伤害一样恋爱，像不需要钱一样工作，像没有人在看一样跳舞。
