Don't Forget Why You Came

      Just read an interesting quote: "When you leave here don't forget why you came". It was from Adlai Stevenson to college graduates. I went past it and didn't post it to Facebook like I normally would because it didn't really fit with what I normally would post. Then I got thinking about it and all the situations in life it applies to: work, friends, spouses etc.
       When we got offered the job, or the friendship was growing or met the spouse there were reasons that we were interested and wanted that person or job as part of our lives. For the most part those reasons are still there but we have come to take them for granted and now we focus on all the irritations.
        Perhaps next time I find myself complaining about my work, or my spouse or a friend I'm going to think about why I wanted to work there or be with that person and I'm going to remember why I came.
