But we also can't get too wrapped up in daydreaming either because it keeps us from focusing on the task at hand.

"Don't <i>ever</i> think like that. Everyone seems to do it - 'When I find my soul mate, then I'll be happy.' 'When I get this job/car/house, then I'll be happy.' But people and things can't magically make you happy - you have to be happy with yourself and your situation first, then those people and things will enhance it."<br /><br />I can't tell you how many times that advice has helped me - or helped someone else I've passed it on to :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053579772523489985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-38721529998721960062013-07-12T17:54:43.928-04:002013-07-12T17:54:43.928-04:00Great post, Authoress, and so true.

Life is short. Enjoy it. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-49913233052022127702013-07-12T14:10:10.307-04:002013-07-12T14:10:10.307-04:00What a beautiful post!

I take joy in the start of a new story and the sip of coffee too! That's not to say don't look ahead but look to what's in front of you as well.
