I was thinking recently that being happy with what you have is so important in life. I don't mean day dreaming about winning the lottery, but truly finding happiness in what you have. If you get out of bed in the morning that is the first of your blessings however, being happy with what you have should not be an excuse to give up dreams of something better. One must always strive to do better, be better ya know what I mean.We as humans have so much potential. We have so many opportunities to love what we have, but we also have the the choice in life to actively work to change what we don't love in our lives. Take me for example; I was/am happy with how my life turned from being a single parent of one who struggled to now being a wife, a mother of two, and being financially able to stay home for my kids. This is great and has brought me much joy, but I never gave up the need to be an active participant financially for my family or myself. I have been very blessed to be able to work part time from home doing transcription.Nor did I give up on going back to school.

The point I am trying to make is be happy with what you have EVERYDAY, but if there is more that you want, goals that you have, dreams you want to achieve then you must go after them. Do not be passive! The best things in life do not just fall from the sky into your lap you must actively search them out. Put yourself out there to get them. Being content with life is great, but do not let it stop you from seeking more.
