About This Quote

It’s easy to see the problems in life, but not all of us can see the good things. Sometimes people fail to notice the good things in their lives. They are too busy wallowing in what’s wrong around them. They take the negative in their lives and make it the only thing they focus on.

But remember, there are good times in every day. If you focus only on the bad things, you miss out on all the good things that happen to you throughout your day. How do you recognize these good things? Pay attention to the moments when you feel happy or when something is going well for you.

You’re just one small person with one small life who has a lot of potential. How much more can you do than what you’re doing right now? There are just so many opportunities in front of you that if you don’t recognize them, then they will pass by without your even knowing they were there at all.
