The Secret to happiness is not getting what you want but wanting what you have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read alot of books trying to make myself a better person. In my journey with that, I came across the above statement and it really got my attention. I'm very thankful for all the good things in my life, but I admit there are times I try to have a pity party. I will think on all the things I want but do not have right now or I will think about if I would have done things different, how could it be for me right now. I know this is something we all do, but it is best not to dwell on such thoughts. The above quote made me realize I just need to be happy with what I have now and then keep hope alive that I can achieve more blessings down the road. I think that is what life is about. When I start to fall back on my " woe is me" feelings, I think about the above quote. It has really helped me.

I think that everyone has those pity parties from time to time and wish that they had done things differently ... its part of the human condition. And you are right, its best not to dwell too long on that but find the positive with where you are right now.
It is not so much the pity party thing, what really got me is the part about wanting what you have now..staying in the present.
