Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Enjoy when you can and endure when you must" wrote the German author, poet and philosopher Goethe. Who is able to do that all the time, raise your hand. Now, examine your usual attitude and see how much are you able to enjoy the little things which everybody's life is rich in: a kind word, a smile, a job well done, a beautiful sunset, a listening ear, a comfortable chair, a good book....On the other hand, how do you face unpleasant situations? Are you able to "endure" them? How? With acceptance or with resistance, with patience or with a scowl? The way you end up feeling totally depends on your attitude. Worth giving it a little thought, isn't it?
