A reality that it’s very important to face is that life was never meant to go in a straight line. Life was never meant to be “easy” and never will be. It’s meant to be full of ups and downs and this is for your benefit too if you meet it’s challenge. Be fully present in the good times and fully focused in the challenging times. It’s so important to live consciously. In the fast busy world we live in far too many never live in the moment and far too many buckle under any challenge. It’s become a world where presence and gratitude are rare and also has become a soft world wanting everything perfect all the time. It’s time to change this as a matter of urgency.You need to be fully present in the good times. Enjoy every precious second of them. Enjoy your kids and loved ones. Get lost in precious moments. Celebrate your successes. Be fully present in such times.In times of challenge embrace what you’re faced with. Go into solution mode. Get focused on what needs to be done. Embrace the opportunity for growth which every challenge presents you. They are as precious and necessary as the good times.
