In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps. Neil Strauss
About This Quote

These are profound words that will never fail to change the way you see life. When you are waiting for good things to happen to you, you are missing out on all the opportunities that are around you. The universe has its own way of doing things and it will always give you what is best for you. Your only job is to recognize them and put in the work required to make it happen.
