Make the most of every situation.
Each passing moment is a blessing whether we know it or not. What we think is a bad turn in the moment can save us from a much worse fate down the line. We live in a time where things seem to be moving so quickly and for some reason the majority of people are more hopeless than ever. Dwelling on bad moments and building personas around them instead of dusting themselves off and getting back into the game. We get a choice whether we like it or not. Decisions to make around the clock that affect our lives and the world around us. Having to deal with reactions and attacks from outside forces is part of the game. When you’re on a mission, multiple things will try to steer you away.
Better to always look on the bright side and do what we can with what we have than checking out and avoiding what needs to be done. There’s always a gnawing feeling that comes with comfort and stagnation if we know deep down that more can be done. Better to try and live your dream life while you still can than wondering what could’ve been when it’s too late. Even if it seems easier now, make sure you’re doing what actually matters to you or the side effects can worsen as time wears on.
Always have hope and faith in what is to come. It’s impossible to control everything and we shouldn’t dream of being able to either way. Contentment and that sense of fulfillment that makes life worthwhile comes through achieving success in your chosen endeavors and being able to care for your loved ones. Learn how to weather storms and fight through obstacles. Much of the fun in life comes from taking risks and watching them pan out on the other side after it seeming like all hope was lost. The only way to get to the ideal is through the right sacrifice of time and energy. Even when things seem off, there’s always a way around or through. The signs and answers always reveal themselves when our body, mind and spirit are all in sync pursuing a true purpose. Easy to fool other people. Impossible to fool God.
Conditions will never be perfect.
We’re constantly reminded of this point throughout our daily lives for good reason. Life in itself always allows for chaos in the system. Sudden changes, natural and personal disasters, manufactured crisis and manipulation, cancellations and chance encounters, unexpected battles and tragedies. There truly is no shortage of negativity in the world if we are actively seeking it out. At any given moment, someone out there is dying a gruesome death or has lost everything in some type of disaster. At every turn society and the media are telling you to be afraid of something else. Every day some new event or breaking story becomes the talk of the town, only to be replaced 24 hours later. Major “doomsday” predictions seem to come and go on a monthly to yearly basis. Somehow, here we still are. Able to breathe, move, talk, read, write, work, build, enjoy life. Even in conditions that people will tell you have never been worse, it’s possible to create a life you love living.
Start taking action no matter what is telling you otherwise. The time is now and there’s really no benefit to waiting any longer before putting yourself out there and finding ways to make money, get in shape and have great relationships while living on your terms. It won’t be that easy but neither is watching yourself helplessly dwindle away into nothing as the years go by. Regret will definitely sting worse than any rejection that we may encounter on this journey. Cowering away shows a lack of faith in yourself and in your hope for the world.
Even in the most dire circumstances, we should have a reason to keep moving forward no matter what. No limits to how high we can rise even in the darkest depths of rock bottom. The key thing is that first step in the next direction. Stop mentally digging a deeper hole and act in the immediate reality you find yourself in. Think outside the box and understand that in the best or in the worst of times, there’s always another move to make.
Keep on going until the end.
It’s important to be both rigid in our code and fluid in the moment to break through resistance and get to the next level. Have a few core things you pour most of your time and energy into while understanding that showing up and dealing with whatever problems arise is half the battle to getting where you want to go. It won’t always go according to plan but sometimes it can go even better than we expected if we keep our word and step into the arena. Timing and chance are both crucial but it’s much easier to time things with wisdom and experience and it’s much easier to get lucky when you’re making an effort to be in the right places.
Some people find their purpose early in life, others much later and everywhere else in between. It’s up to us at the end of the day to decide how each moment is lived. Everyone has free will even in the most brutal and dire situations. What will be the next move? How can we reach the next level? Where is the final destination? Some things we’ll never know in this lifetime. It’s better to focus on what we have now to get where we want to go while having faith that it all works out in the end.
No better time to start.
Live with purpose.
Trust in God.
Enjoy every moment.
