Appreciate what’s good

There are worse places you could be. There are worse times you could live in.

This day has challenges, this world has problems. Value and appreciate it all anyway, for it could be a lot worse.

It could be worse, and one big force that always makes things worse is a lack of appreciation. Be smart, be strategic, and be appreciative of what is.

Yes, it’s theoretically possible that if you tear down everything you could start fresh and make something better. But it pretty much never works that way.

Attacking what’s wrong is easy, and doesn’t require much skill. Yet expanding upon what’s right, what’s working well, is almost always a more successful tactic.

Appreciate what’s beautiful, what’s reliable, what’s proven, what’s durable. And give your energy and effort to make the good things you appreciate a bigger part of life.
