Life gets easier when you start paying attention to what is happening, instead of what you want to happen.

We all have wants.

I want to be 6’5 and playing professional baseball.

But instead, I am who I am.

And you know what? I’m good with that.

Too often I hear from people all the things that they “should” have.  Or how this person or that person has this or that.

You are, good or bad, exactly where you are supposed to be.

Be ok with that.  Focus on enhancing that and being just that.

Look, life can be hard. I get it, things don’t always go the way you want them to.

So, just be ok with the fact that where you are right now is where you are supposed to be.

But also, you have the power to change your life just about any way you wish. But before you can focus on changing the future, you have to accept the past and be firmly planted in the present.

So, as I write these words, it helps me think about that same thing.

Be good where we are.  Enhance what we do.  Do you.

That is all anyone can ask for.
