The first time I visited Hawaii, it was for a two-week vacation. During that time, I saw about thirteen Hawaiian sunsets. I usually don’t make an effort to take in the sunset, it sets every day regardless of where I am. But for some reason I felt compelled to watch the sun go down over the ocean in Hawaii as often as I could. Why? Because I only had so many opportunities to do so before I left. The vacation mind-set helps create an urgency to take advantage of opportunities for joy.
