Life is not to be taken for granted
Written by Agustina Thorgilsson
It's amazing how often people get upset when their plans do not work out exactly as they had planned, when they feel that things have gone wrong. We seem to be hardwired to having success at every turn in life and having everything go smoothly and no hiccups along the way. Well, I got news for you! Life does not turn out as planned, but goes exactly in the direction we need to grow, and everything is as it should be at every turn in life. It's not a natural law that every new born is healthy; it's not a law of nature that man's plans run smoothly all the time; it's not a natural law to be successful all the time; or rich; or whatever you dream of! Wake up! It's here and now you live, and life is like the sand in the hour glass, it slips away. Try to enjoy every moment and live every moment. That way your life becomes a greater success than you could ever imagine. A well lived life is your greatest challenge. So when things do not turn out exactly as you would like, try to find what you can learn from that. How it can help you move on and how you can become more alive and living. It's a little bit like that bucket list, what do I want to do before you move on from this life? Do those things and enjoy and live! You will be amazed how much more alive and young and strong you feel. Being grateful, for that is easy.
