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 still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
--Fr. Alfred D'Souza
As hard as I try not to do things like this, I think interesting thoughts and quotes need to be shared. I shared this once already with someone and think everyone else should read it too. It's simple and there's really not that much to it but it makes so much sense to me. Quite often I find myself daydreaming about this "real life" D'Souza speaks of, wishing and waiting for it to finally begin. It's hard for me to feel like I'm living my real life when I'm not taking classes, when I'm not certain about what is coming next, when I'm really just feeling scared even though I think I'm heading in the right direction. But this is my life; these feelings of uncertainty (among all the other things I'm feeling) are what I will learn and grow from day in and day out.
