Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.

Appreciation of the Good Things in Life

How many times are we blind to the good in front of us because we're

looking past it for something better? It's like watching the railroad

track your entire life, waiting for a train to come in and never

realizing that you're sitting smack in the middle of the splendid

Grand Central Station. Take a second look at your goals. Are they

building on the good already in your life? Are you taking full

advantage of the strengths you already have? Is it worth giving up

what you have for what you might have? In many cases, the answer is

yes. To that we say " Go for it! " with all the enthusiasm we can

muster. Those are the meaningful goals. If the answer is no, try

reworking your goals to include ones that complement your present life

rather than substitute for it. Whatever the answer is for you, we

could all use a little more appreciation for the pieces of silver in

our lives.
