Live For Today January 18, 2007 Life has no guarantees. The only thing that you have for sure is the current moment. Take it and make the most of it. Be happy now! Stop waiting for something to jumpstart your life. You cannot wait for the perfect moment because it will never come. If you try to aim before you fire you will end up aiming again and again because the right time will never line up. Promise yourself that from this day forward you will live your life without looking back. Become the person you want to be now. Just believe, then become! You are in complete control of your joy. Find something that inspires you to be your best. For me, music works well. I can fix any bad mood with a good song. Most people believe that good things bring happiness but they have it mixed up. Happiness brings good things. You may ask me "how can I be happy when my circumstances are so bad?" Create a mental image of a version of your life where everything is well. Accept it as reality because those images are actually much closer than you may imagine. Think about how your day would improve if you simply learned to smile for no reason. What is unhappiness? Unhappiness is the want of a definite future that does not exist. Stop worrying about what has gone wrong in your life. Box up your troubles and send them on their way. I am not encouraging you to forget about obstacles in your life. Just simply do not worry about the outcome of something you cannot control. You may have bills that you do not know how to pay. Trust that in the end you will find the money to pay them and do not worry beyond what can help the situation. Happiness is the product of letting go of worry, fear, and everything that you cannot directly control. When you find your own happiness you will begin to help others discover theirs. People will enjoy being around you and begin to truly accept you for who you are. When you find yourself, everyone else also finds you. Live your life without burden by never taking another worry on your conscience because worrying about something does you no good. Finally, you are living for the happiness of today! Joshua Schwarz
