What is stopping you from doing something good for yourself? What is keeping you from the bird in your hand? Why cant you enjoy what you have been given?

You know, the abe lincoln thing about the secret to happiness is wanting what you have, not having what you want.

This is my big bugaboo. Butbif you solve it, at the end, you HAVE that bird in hand, rather than a lack of feeling for something you dont have.
