Happiness - 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, 

오랫동안 나는 진정한 삶이 곡 시작되리라고 믿었다
그러나 내 앞에는 언제나 
온갖 장애물들과 먼저 해결해야 할 일들이 있었다.



something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, 
time to still be served, a debt to be paid. 

아직 끝내지 못한 일들과
바쳐야 할 시간들과
갚아야 할 빚이 있었다.


Then life would begin. 

그런 다음에야 삶이 펼쳐질 것이라고 나는 믿었다.


At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

마침내 나는 깨닫고 되었다
그런 장애물들이 바로 내 삶이었다는 것을 

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 finish school,
until you go back to school,
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 you get divorced,
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 fall,
until winter,So stop waiting

until summer,

until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until you die,
until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

'Happiness is a journey, not a destination.'
