Good moments often come along when you’re least expecting them.

It is all too easy to put pressure on ourselves to try to make the most out of the obvious stuff that we are supposed to enjoy, and at the same time resign ourselves to misery when we are going through something, or doing something we don’t particularly want to do. However, the secret to having a decent existence is being open to blessings whenever, not just when we expect them to happen.

Of course, just because we acknowledge all the possibilities of the unexpected doesn’t mean that happy moments are going to constantly fall in our lap. There will always be times that are more of a struggle, or even plain boring to live through. The thing we have to remember is that this only makes the good stuff even greater. Perspective is the main thing that we have to focus on.

There are ways to make it easier to believe ourselves when we say that our next positive moment is just around the corner. Looking at a highlight reel of good things that other people have collected can be a great help, or at least, that is the logic behind enjoying wholesome memes. They are the perfect pick-me-up no matter what our mood, and while they deal in some of the more obvious positives, they can also surprise us with the delights they hold. The only thing that we need to bring is an open mind and a willingness to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. For most people, that shouldn’t be too big a task.
