Finding the silver linings, the rays of light, the diamonds in the mud is a skill to learn, and I think learning it is worthwhile. That doesn't mean I close my eyes to the bad stuff, but spotting the good stuff definitely makes it all more bearable.

    Very well put!

    So many people would agree that the idea behind "stop and smell the roses" is a good and healthy one. And so few people would actually do it in real life.

    I would even expand what you said to include things like living intentionally and experiencing the moment are part of that general skill of finding fulfillment in a world that will never be unbroken.
