Learn to enjoy what you've got

.

From the film MR. DESTINY-

A conversation between Larry Burrows (LB) and Mike, after LB discovers his life has changed dramatically due to Mike's 'destiny bending' of it.

LB: Is there anything else that's going to come as a shock?!

Mile: It all will, to some degree.

LB: To what degree!?

Mike: You'll see. Things have changed Larry. You have to take the bad with the good. You didn't think everything was going to be perfect, did you?

LV: Well I... I, uhhh...suppose not.

Mike: THIS (gestures toward Larry's new environment) is your life Larry. Learn to enjoy what you've got.

LB (speaking to Mike): Thanks. Thanks for everything. The good and the bad!

LB: Oh, and listen Mike. Whatever you've got planned for the rest of my life...it's PERFECT!

What makes a religious tradition valuable?

. Any particular religious tradition doesn't 'contain' the TRUTH more than another. It's in a tradition's ability to transform a person that makes that tradition valuable.
