I have oftentimes complained about how much I have to do, or there isn't enough time in a day to do it. What I am forgetting is that in performing my daily task, I really am getting a great deal out of life. If I never had anything to do, or never had any responsibilities to attend to, then my life would be very boring and useless indeed. And, most importantly, there would never be a feeling of pride in the job I did well.

It is in the service work that I do for others that I also gain "real" satisfaction out of life. I can enjoy happiness and serenity if I slow down long to enjoy the moment in which I am working, instead of worrying about the end results.

So, I must say to myself; there is a time and place for everything, and now is the time to enjoy what I am doing. For there is no tomorrow or no yesterday. There is only today. And so I must live in the present if I am to be truly happy.
