We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and
appreciating what we do have. – Frederick Koenig
So often, we lament about what we don’t have in life, or the things that we want. Now I’ve said before there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting more in life, in fact, I believe that the wanting is what gives us the drive to succeed. What’s not so great is when we forget to appreciate what we have right now. Seriously, think about it. Take five minutes and list all the things that you do have right now, this very second in your life. Maybe you don’t have the McMansion of your dreams, but I bet you have a great many things in your life to be excited about. It’s not a bad idea to take an inventory of all the great things you do have in your life every once in a while. You’ll find you are far richer than you ever imagined.
