The thrill of the search can be intoxicating. When we realize that there is something missing we commit to a plan to find the unknown “it.” With our search party put in place, there is a sense of anticipation for discovering the thing that we’ve been been waiting for.

The most innocent of searches can become exhausting if we lose sight of what we’re searching for. And even more anticlimactic is realizing that what we’ve been searching for has been with us all along.

While the thrill of the search can be fun – First be sure that what you’re looking for is not already in your possession.
