Waiting

Many of us have things backwards.
We believe that we have to wait to create
the circumstances we want in life and rack up
a lot of successes so we can finally relax.
Actually, it works the other way around.
We should leave where we are and move
to where we ultimately dream of living,
whether it's Boulder, Santa Monica, Chicago, or Tibet.
Then once we're there, we'll figure out ways
to fashion a livelihood that will enable us
to survive and to prosper from there.
Paradise shouldn't wait, and happiness shouldn't either.
