Be happy and do your best

Ecc 3:12  So I realized that all we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive.

What a sobering thought.  I have often discovered that there is a sense of fulfilment in doing things well, and a sense of frustration in doing things badly.  So whatever you do, do your best, and be happy.  Don’t worry about what you aren’t able to do.  Don’t stress about all the things you cannot do.  That which you do, do it to the best of your abilities.  More than that, you can’t do.  Settle for that.
