All these things that occupy your mind now—soon they will be forgotten. For every moment that you believe that what you have now is not enough, you waste away precious moments from this life—this only life you were given.

Don’t postpone gratitude. Don’t postpone happiness. You’ve found your peace; why, then, are you not embracing it? It is not an excuse to be lazy, not an excuse to be complacent, and most certainly not an excuse to not be brave. You always have something to do—and not merely anything to do, but something you can do with all your heart—and for that, you should be eternally thankful. But to do it with all your heart does not necessitate that you burden your soul over it.

Work hard, rest easy, and, above all, maintain gratitude in all of it.
