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?!

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!

Participation, without conflict

. "Everything is right for me, which is right for you, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which comes in due time for you.
