Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

ECKHART TOLLE

 

I always called this dealing with life on its terms. We are planted as if into families.  None of us have any recollection of asking for this although, some schools of thought say we do.
Anyway  we do the best with what we have.  If we are happy with our efforts no matter what the circumstances then this should be the deciding factor of the level of despair an older person finds themselves feeling while look back over their lives at their achievements and their failures.
