Happy Endings

I recently heard something just keeps resonating with me:

"You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey."

I am not sure why this is so profound, but I have a few ideas. I don't interpret this as there are no happy endings at the end of our difficulties or hardships. What I do choose to believe, though, is that if we keep putting our happiness off until tomorrow, we will always be wanting and waiting. I struggle with, what seemed to me, the HUGE contrast between visualizing your future while staying in the moment. However, hearing this remedied that quandary.

When it comes to intention, any book you read, any speaker you hear, any principle you practice will all share the same basic philosophy: Feel good now to bring more opportunities of feeling good later. It is the Law of Attraction yet again. If I keep thinking of what I will have someday and equate that with my happiness, well,  joy will remain the elusive carrot. If  I really desire to see my life unfold as I envision it, I must be happy now. The simplest and most powerful choice I can make is to enjoy where I am each day…for it is the only way to bring about my happily ever after.
