Happiness

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,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time to still be served,
a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.

I love this quote. I want to live it.

If any of you have any tips on how to live "in the now," I would appreciate them greatly. I'm not good at this and need all the help I can get. :) Thanks!
