The whole world is waiting. Waiting for a train,a a bus or a plane to take them to a place where they could be happy, or to someone they think will complete them. The truth is we're all waiting for something. Anything. Anything that would make our life a bit more bearable. Or waiting for time to pass because maybe things will be better in the future. Do we ever consider that sometimes good things don't come to those who wait but to those who do? Sure, some things do come with time. Responsibility, privileges, respect, driver's licenses, approved university applications... They all come with time. But to be able to earn all those things you have to do a bit of work; no one will give you more responsibility or respect if you don't show them you're worthy of it. Driver's licenses and university applications need some TLC - pulling out the car every now and then and studying 3 days a week is not going to cut it. In the same way, happiness comes with accepting where we are at and doing the work today so that tomorrow will be better. Waiting for a new day to break isn't going to make it come sooner and it certainly will not make it better than today. You have nothing to lose if you decide to get off your couch, put off the tv and the computer, and get your dreams on the track to becoming reality.
