Listen to poem:

Chasing Rainbows

I'll be happy when I reach my goal.
Meanwhile I'm sad because
I'm not even close to getting there.
Why postpone happiness
and make it dependent on 
goals and changes needed 
to get the rewards they bring?
It is so self-defeating, a poor excuse!
I can be happy now,
with what I've got now,
with whom I am now,
enjoying the journey,
instead of chasing rainbows.
