I recently heard this:
"Happiness is not getting what you want. Rather it is appreciating what you have."
So how many people don't appreciate what they have until it's gone? Then they're unhappy about not having it anymore when the truth is that they didn't appreciate what they had while they still had it. That lack of appreciation may sometimes be what causes the loss of what wasn't appreciated. Does that make sense to you?
I'm reminded of a beautiful flower in bloom. How it's important to appreciate it because its beauty is so fleeting. So enjoy and appreciate what you have right now. In the present.
Yesterday is the past. Tomorrow is a mystery. The present is a gift, so appreciate it and enjoy it!
Below is a gift of the fleeting beauty of a flower.
