A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE

You don’t necessarily have to just donate money. You can donate your time, energy, and resources to the community. Every little counts.

The numbers provide a snapshot. But, in life, snapshots should not be the only thing to use and base your most important decisions on.

I’d argue that most of the things in life should be done for the sake of doing it. Not for the sake of feeling good.

I’m not a giant. I’m not a superstar. I’m not a superhero. I just enjoy my life because it is simply made for enjoyment.

The desire for more, if used well, can lead to positive change. And can have a lasting impact of service and helpfulness.

You can take credit for it as much as you want. But, whether you like it or not, it’s a total team effort from the top to the bottom.

Life is never going to be perfect. There will always be challenges and pushback that make us want to cringe and adapt.

Uncertainty can help us all grow more open in our perspective.

Perspective is in the eye of the beholder. At the end of the day, you control what you want to think and nobody else.

These days, when I need an injection of inspiration - I harken back to those good old days of struggle.

The adventure these days is in real life. In buying groceries. In taking out the trash. In being a serviceable adult.

As an individual of a larger part of society, we must all put in our efforts to make the world a more livable place.

I’m not exactly in the middle of a civil war-torn nation. I am well-fed. And for that I am grateful.

You can gain a lot of insight and perspective by simply sitting with yourself and thinking through your own life and circumstance.

Why we can’t just be more open-minded? Be a little more empathetic to see the other side’s point of view.

This season is another opportunity for us to be grateful and at ease with where we are in this beautiful world.

We usually tend to go on chasing more things in hopes of becoming happier and more “well off”.

Just take it easy. Live life with less burden on your shoulders. Enjoy the here and now.

Life will always throw you curveballs here and there for you to deal with. Nothing will be “in place” forever.

These mundane chores are so important, yet I took them for granted for most of my life.
