Do you ever find yourself saying:

When I’m older, I’ll do this…

Later, I’ll get to it…

One day, I will…

Or when it’s time or when I have a chance…

When I finish school, I’ll be able to…

When I have more money…

When I get married, I’ll be …

When the house is paid, we’ll go …

When the kids leave the house, we’ll move…

When I retire, I’ll have more time to…

When I’m dying… Oh no not already… AHHHHHHH…

We should learn to enjoy the road while we are travelling, because if we put all our hopes on the destination, we could be disappointed.

Most of the time, the anticipation is more exciting than the actual outcome.

For years, I wanted to be older, but NOT ANYMORE.

What about you ?

“Sometimes I wish life had a fast-forward button.”

Dan Chopin

___________________________________________________________________________

When it’s time to pay the bills,

When it’s time to take out the garbage,

When it’s time to clean the house,

When it’s time for a rainy day,

When we experience illness,

Of course most of us don’t enjoy these moments, but how could we really appreciate the good times if we always have good times?

We enjoy earning money and after we pay the bills.

We produce garbage with our lifestyle, then we must get rid of it.

We live in our houses and have to clean them once in a while.

We enjoy the sun especially after a couple of rainy days.

We enjoy feeling energetic after being slowed down by the flu.

So yes, sometimes I wish life would have a fast-forward button, but it’s only a wish, it’s  not reality.
