We have so many opportunities to notice both what we do desire and also what we don't. If we're not aware of the opportunities, we will only be upset about what we don't want.

Today I talk about the need for contrast in order to build our appreciation muscles. With the shadows, you would never notice things like moguls on mountains, and you wouldn't have an opportunity to master a hobby like skiing.

Don't get stuck in the shadows. Look at them and bring light to the parts of your life you don't prefer. Then you'll be living to the edges in all aspects of your life.
