Guess what, life is not easy. And I’ve come to the realisation that it probably never will be. We live in a constant state of disappointment if we think we are going to one day arrive at Easy Street.

We think “If only I could win the lotto, then my worries would be gone”… Sorry folks, this will bring a whole new set of troubles to your world.

Or “If I could just meet the perfect partner, I’d be so much happier.” Possibly true, however good relationships take hard work! You could just choose to be happier now, and you might even find yourself that perfect partner!

I have known this, but maybe only just now have I ‘got’ it. I think deciding to be in a constant state of fight actually makes life a little bit easier. Its all about the attitude.

To progress, we must take ground, and taking ground requires a fight. If you don’t fight, you don’t win! Victory is not a destination but a state of living.

So if I wake up in the morning and think “Today, I might come across some difficult situations, but I’m ready for it! I am choosing right now, to be up, and enjoy life, no matter what” I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a better day. This friends, is my goal in life…for this week… and hopefully longer!
