Being a student, it always felt like a constant race, to complete the assignments, top the exams, and what not. The day before the results were always filled with anxiety, wondering if all that hard work will account to something or end up in vain.
Everyone dreams about landing a good job and making money. We feel that once we achieve that, we can finally sit back and be happy. It's a desperate wish but it can just as well turn into long days filled with unsatisfying work, harsh deadlines and something we want to get out of.
Fantasizing about tomorrow is human nature. Though, what matters is how we live the present. How we find ways to channel our passions in the right way.
There is no shortcut to hard work. One needs to put in the blood, sweat and tears and run after our dreams. In the meantime though, we need to remember that happiness will not come tomorrow. The future is a mystery and thinking "Oh, once I achieve this, I'll be happy" will only make you anxious today.
So folks, chase after your dreams. Give it your all. But once in a while just take a pause. Look around you. Fall in love, connect with your family. Let the stress go up in smoke.
I thought those were exquisite lines.
I agree with what you say about happiness will not come tomorrow. I think too many times we think "if I just got a good job..." or "if I just got into this school..." or "if I just married that girl (or boy)" ... that if we just did those things, happiness will come, but life doesn't work that way. You make your own happiness wherever you are while on your way to reaching your goals. If you wait till you get there to be happy you are setting yourself up for failure, even if you're successful.
Those are my favourite lines too!
We humans have made happiness synonymous with success. Which could be true in some cases but not always necessary.
