We always hope for better days to come.We may have convinced ourselves that life will be better after we get into college.Then we are frustrated because college life is not interesting enough,and we say to ourselves, "We will be happier when we graduate ."And then we will feel frustrated again when we come across,say ,interpersonal problems in our workplaces.Meanwhile,we always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we marry a nice person and when we own ahome of our own.
The truth is that there is no better time than right now.Our future life will always be filled with challenges.It's best to admit this and decide to be happy anyway.Remember that time waits for no one.So stop waiting to be happy.Be happy now when you're astudent,when you're having a low-paid job,when you go to work by bus or on foot.Be happy now before you own a big house and before you marry the right person.
Happiness is a journey,not adestination.So study like you have never been bored,love like you have never been hurt, work like you don't need money .Then you are happy,for every moment of your life.
Happy you can enjoy your happiness.

If you think that when you attain some specific goal you will then be happy and everything will be fine, you are deluding yourself. Too many people pursue money, thinking it will make them happy if they just have enough. The problem with that is their definition of "enough" constantly changes. I read in magazines and online about families with a combined household income of more than $300,000 and they say they are "struggling". Why? Because they have more stuff than they can afford. People with a net worth of 10 million dollars work 80 hours a week so they can someday have 20 million. For a lot of people, there is no such thing as "enough" money.

Here , I just want to say that happiness is just a journey which needs us everyone to go through. Maybe $300,000 is alot of moeny, But money is just a form of happiness. The happiness is really in our deep heart. Happy mylot .If we struggle to fight for happiness, I think the happiness is just around the corner.

Everything have two sides. you should work hard towards positive side, take your passion and make it come true.
The God gives two windows to everybody, pain and happiness. it's up to you.

I believe happiness is depend on the way we think. We can't always just wait for happiness to come to us someday, and if it doesn't come then we'll blame situations around us. I think the best place to find happiness is inside us. Just like you said, be happy when you're having a low-paid job, because there are people who doesn't even have a job. Be happy when you go to work by bus or on foot, because that means you are healthy enough to do that. Happiness is not about owning something or someone, it's about how we feel grateful to every thing we already have in our live..
Enjoy your day :)
