for Santa and put glittery oatmeal on the lawn to attract the reindeer. There was a last time we played on the swings at the playground. These were magical moments that are now just very fond memories.

My life is full of“ last time” moments, which I thought were fairly routine, and they are now just memories. In some cases, I’ m happy... in others, very sad.

So, let me turn this into an instructive reminder: Don’ t take anything good in your life for granted. That’ s what we’ re doing when we complain and focus on all the things going wrong in life. We take our eyes and appreciation off what IS good.

In some cases, the very things you are unhappy about and complaining over today will come to an end at some point— going to the office, grinding out the work, the pressure of deadlines, the early mornings, and the steady stream of problems to solve, fueled by caffeine and swear words. But all the good that comes with it will come to an end too— the camaraderie of working with your team, the satisfaction that comes from a job well done, praise from a raving-fan client, the brief shining moments when you get it all right. And when that’ s GONE, it’ s GONE. Over. Done. Finito.

When you go to your job or place of business today, be thankful you’ ve got one and give it the very best you’ ve got. If you’ re employed, say thank you to your boss and co-workers. If you’ re in charge, remember to show gratitude for your employees, your clients, vendors, and other people who support you. Tomorrow, a thousand entrepreneurs will close business doors— and then wish they could have your current problems.
