I came across a post by Dushka Zapata and thought it held a lovely nugget for the new year.

Starts with a joke:

A drunk loses the keys to his house and is looking for them under a lamppost. A policeman comes over and asks what he’s doing.
“I’m looking for my keys” he says. “I lost them over there”.
The policeman looks puzzled. “Then why are you looking for them all the way over here?”
“Because the light here is so much better”.

We all look for things where the light is better, rather than where we’re more likely to find them.
Don't just set specific goals. Resolve to be receptive to the opportunities life presents to you.
Open your eyes. Say yes more often.
Don’t wear blinders on your only adventure.
