"The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life."
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Stevenson says "do not grasp at the stars" as if to say- don't worry so much about things you don't have, things that are out of your reach. Instead, focus on the task at hand, and see the beauty and the blessings which are right here, right now. We can't appreciate what is right in front of us if we are looking off into the distance.
