Never give up; you never know until you try.
Have you ever discovered that something for which you searched "high and low" was right in front of you? Maybe you "lost" your glasses, only to "discover" them on top of your head. You knew (some part of you did, anyway) just where they were, but you had your mind cluttered with "stuff" and couldn't "remember" where they were. Annoying, isn't it? If you're like me, when you "find" what was right there the whole time, you chuckle to yourself, shake your head, and continue on your way.
There's a line in "The Wizard of Oz that goes: "Professor Marvel never guesses, he knows!"
It can be frustrating when you seem to be getting nowhere in finding answers to questions of where to live, what career or job to pursue, or who to let into your life. Many times, the answer is right in front of you, but it isn't "time" to see it. Other times, it's brain clutter keeping you from seeing the answer. Rest assured, though, when the time is right, if you persist, you will see the answer. Then, like me, you'll say,"Duh!" and you'll shake your head and continue on your way.
This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference

It isn't time to see it - so true! But God reveals it when we are ready.
