Without experiencing life’s troubled and frustrations could you ever experience happiness? Or to put it another way, could you ever truly appreciate happiness... even if it shoved itself in front of your face?

Happiness spends most of its time around appreciation, which is an area I know I need to work harder on and to allow quality time for day to day. Even my daily gratitude diary has fallen a little by the wayside.

In the rush of everyday living, am I actually limiting my potential for happiness simply by not allowing time for it?  Sounds crazy but I think it’s true and I would hazard a guess that it’s not just me that’s missing this pivotal point of existence in this way.

So go ahead and create your own music, but also take the time to listen to its tune.
