Pinpoint the Nugget

"Happiness is a direction."

Sydney J. Harris

We cannot control our life entirely.  No matter how carefully or thoughtfully we plan, there is a tendency for life itself to get in the way.  It is important, therefore, to continue striving for the outcomes we desire, in spite of interruptions altering our progress.

So even with our intentions veering off course, we can keep an open mind as to what appears before us. As our sight adjusts to darkness that may befall, we can pinpoint the nugget of wisdom just waiting to be discovered.

If we can walk between the stereotypical pollyanna and Debbie Downer, we are open to learning no matter where we are led. The environment, intimate or worldly, is multi-layered with discoveries, if we but take the time to be quiet and observe.
