"But godliness with contentment is great gain."  (1 Tim. 6:6)  Find joy and contentment in the simple things of life and start by thanking God for what you have today.  Joy should not be dependent on things (dreams, possessions, achievements) somewhere out there - not quite within our reach.  What has God placed in our hands today?  What we hold today we may not hold tomorrow.  Seize the joy of what's going on in your life right now!!!
