Thou earnest not to thy place by accident, It is the very place God meant for thee; And shouldst thou there small scope for action see, Do not for this give room to discontent!

Thou earnest not to thy place by accident, It is the very place God meant for thee; And shouldst thou there small scope for action see, Do not for this give room to discontent!

Thou earnest not to thy place by accident,

It is the very place God meant for thee;
And shouldst thou there small scope for action see,
Do not for this give room to discontent.

—R. C. Trench

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

—R. W. Emerson

Adapt thyself to the things with which thy lot has been cast; and love the men with whom it is thy portion to live, and that with a sincere affection. No longer be either dissatisfied with thy present lot, or shrink from the future.

—Marcus Antoninus

I love best to have each thing in its season, doing without it at all other times. I have never got over my surprise that I should have been born into the most estimable place in all the world, and in the very nick of time too.

—H. D. Thoreau

Today we see a lot of unhappy people. They are full of hate, negativity, and live in misery. Always complaining always hating. They are never happy. We need to remember like it says in the Bible in Jerimiah, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." We need to be joyful in the Lord! We need to be grateful for all, give thanks, count our blessings. We need to be prayerful, to pray for others and the world. We need to be positive, loving, and yes, joyful in the Lord! It can bring so much peace and love when we are filled with love. Stay away from hate and hate clubs, or this groupthink or fake news that is biased and hates or cancels or censors. Know that the truth is in the Lord! If it is negative, full of hate and biased, if it wants you to join their club of hate, it is not healthy for you. Like all the quotes talk about too, is that we need to accept the will of God, let Him guide you, instruct you, bring you where you need to be. Follow the ways of His son, Jesus, try to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Jesus! God has us here, right now, in this place where we are for a reason. He is using you to make a difference in love for this world, be happy where you are, stay joyful. Don't fall for or be lead by hate, negativity, and darkness, Jesus is the light of the world, if you are not following Him, you are on the wrong path of life, it will not bring happiness. Believe you are where God wants you to be, love all, and remain joyful in this life until you are called home to Heaven, life eternal, to be with Jesus who is love!
