This is an excerpt from Neil Straus's book "The Game". And while I accept the subject matter of the book can be quite distasteful to many I just hit upon this paragraph, for whatever reason it struck a cord with me. Are our eyes truly open to the gifts presented to us?.
"In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by
waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it
falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in
the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is
cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and
knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps."
Agree?, disagree ?.
