I am not always going to get what I want. It just isn't going to happen. My life is about accepting what is given to me, and acting accordingly. I cannot always choose the path my life takes. I can do my darndest, but sometimes, even when I give it my very very best, and I know deep in my heart that I do know what is best, that doesn't mean that the best thing is going to happen. This realization kills me.
That is thrift: accepting what comes your way and making the best of it; recognizing that it is impossible to find happiness in things; and loving people above all else.
“There was a long hard time when I kept far from me the remembrance of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth. But, since my duty has not been incompatible with the admission of that remembrance, I have given it a place in my heart.' ”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
