You would love to have refreshing coffee,
But, you settle for a cup of cold iced tea.
Would that keep you satisfied and free?
Perhaps it does or it was meant to be.
The world offers you a silver plate.
Would you settle for it or go for gold?
You cannot get your dream job in the Sun.
Though you have to settle for the present one.
In life we sometimes need to accept,
Whatever is offered and given to us.
We are grateful for all that we receive.
However, we have skills we do not perceive.
Stop accepting the next best thing.
Make your dreams come true in life.
Accept the challenges that life offers you.
You will receive the prizes bestowed upon you.
I understand your message, but shouldn't we be content to focus on what is within our control? Also, after putting forth effort enough to exhaust ourselves to reach higher and higher seems pointless. This is merely an opinion. I almost agreed with you because you penned your thoughts so lyrically, but then I reread and decided to respond the way I did. Thank you, Warren.
