If you appreciate the small things, you're likely to get the big ones.

About This Quote

While this saying is often said in a comical way, it is actually true. People with a positive outlook on life tend to be luckier because they tend not to let their bad luck get them down. In the words of author Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” When you look at the world through the lens of your good luck, you see success after success and you achieve more than you would if you looked at it through the lens of bad luck.
