Goal for the Day: Take Comfort in the Small Things

Though each day is filled with myriad frustrations, we don’t have to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by them. There’s infinite comfort to be found in the simplest of things. Just the act of walking into your home at the end of a long day should be comforting. The companionship of those we love—both human and animal—is enough to sustain us. The inherent beauty of the items with which we’re surrounded should inspire us.


So many of us become obsessed with the things that we don’t have. Not everyone will achieve ideal beauty, wealth and fame. We won’t always get everything that we crave. That’s, actually, one of the most wonderful things about life. We can, however, take comfort in what we already possess—our wit, our intellect, and the ability to be happy.
