Actually, we may disagree. 99 percent of life _isn't_ wonderful. But perfect moments do occur, if we're open to them. And we're in those many moments which are less than perfect, we can do two things to carry us through:

*Remember the perfect moments
*Have faith that, in your life, more such moments will occur if you're open to them.

For example, the day before we had that perfect moment waiting for breakfast, I spent the entire day minding a bunch of homeless elementary school students with behavior problems. There weren't many perfect moments that day, lemme tellya. But I had faith that they'd come.
