Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another!. Then we're frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are!. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with!. We'll certainly be happy when they're out of that stage!.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire!.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now as a Crackpot If not now, when!? Your life will always be filled with challenges!. It's best to admit this to yourself that you are a Crackpot now and decide to be happy anyway!.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D!. Souza!. He said, "For a long time it had 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, or a debt to be paid!. Then life would begin!. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life!."

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 a Crackpot , special enough to spend your time with!.!.!.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, until you're 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're born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be a Crackpot and be happy!.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination

If a Crackpot does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer!. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away"

So be a crackpot and be happy

So work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt,

Listen to the different drummer

And dance like no one's watching!.

That is truly being a Crackpot

Simply make a decision, decide to either spend your life miserable or spend your life happy!.!.!.if you want to be happy, then consider this feeling as temporary and set aside the time to make an appointment with yourself!. I suggest you get a journal and lock it away in a box!. Write in your journal during your daily appointment with yourself!. Make it a special time when you can be your own best friend and write about your life and what makes your day special!. Get to know who you are at a deep level, and allow yourself to define who you are and to dream!.
