“Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.”

– Horace, Roman poet

Someone once said that contentment is being satisfied with what you have and who you are. This does not mean that pursing your goals with passion and bettering yourself is a bad idea.

Far too many people spend a considerable amount of time longing for a better future – and often missing life’s gifts that happen to be right in front of their noses.

Exercise:

Imagine, as you go through your day, that a wide variety of gifts are being sent to you by some higher power – and even by the people in your personal and professional life.

Make sure that you are wearing your special “gift-seeing glasses” so that you don’t miss a single one.
