We do not have to wait until life is perfect. Because life is never perfect but it is always changing. In the Buddhist path, we learn that Happiness does not come from getting what we want.
It comes from understanding, letting go and being at the present, in short it comes from being content with what we have and being grateful with what we have. When our mind stops running after things, we start to see the beauty in what we have now.
A warm smile, a heart that always forgives and embraces love comes when we learn to be content and grateful with what we have. Happiness is not somewhere far away. It begins when we are content and when we are content it automatically helps us to stop blaming, stop wishing things were different, stop chasing for more and more.
May the path you travel always bear the heart of contentment and a sense of gratefulness, it fills your life and heart with compassion and wisdom that can bring happiness to you and to others.
