In the classic Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey was the richest man in town, but he didn't know it. In fact, he was quite miserable "doing the right thing," but becoming weary and worn because of it. It literally took divine intervention for George to see the kind of life that he had been given. The interesting thing is that he had access to this life the whole time. He was missing it even though it was right there for the taking and the enjoying.
