How many times are we blind to the good in front of us because we're looking past it for something better? It's like watching the railroad track your entire life, waiting for a train to come in and never realizing that you're sitting smack in the middle of the splendid Grand Central Station. Take a second look at your goals. Are they building on the good already in your life? Are you taking full advantage of the strengths you already have? Is it worth giving up what you have for what you might have? In many cases, the answer is yes. To that we say "Go for it!" with all the enthusiasm we can muster. Those are the meaningful goals. If the answer is no, try reworking your goals to include ones that complement your present life rather than substitute for it. Whatever the answer is for you, we could all use a little more appreciation for the pieces of silver in our lives.

"Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold."

I am guilty of this - I sometimes miss appreciating the good things in my life. I don't have to go look to far to see what brings joy to my life. :) I recently had an eye opener of how lucky I am with what I have. I am just thankful to have such wonderful people around me, that despite all the craziness and havoc at work - they are there to pull me up, esp. at times that I just want to scream at the top of my lungs due to disgust or just simply die in my cube (just kidding about the last part hehe).
