Good Is Always Here

But where are you?

We have plans, but some plans rush us through life instead of bringing our dreams to life. And those plans set us up to chase everything.

Confused, we believe we are getting ahead. But we can’t be on top of everything all at once — every problem, every goal, every little thing we think is missing.

In doing so, we miss a lot.

We miss so much because we expect joy to be grand when, in reality, it’s always here — in those ordinary moments we often overlook. Even in our darkest hours, good doesn’t disappear; we’re just too busy and preoccupied to notice it.

Still, it’s here. It’s in spontaneous laughter, a soothing cup of peppermint tea (what I’m drinking right now), and the spirit within that carries you through difficult days.

Hard times don’t erase the good. I won’t lie, hard times make it harder to recognize. But it’s still there, waiting to be fully experienced.

Can we slow down? Breathe? Pay attention? The present moment holds more than we realize, but we must be willing to see it.
