Though it's important to live in the now, there are some very important things you must remember about dealing full-on with your life - as it is right at this moment.The now moment may not be all that great. It may be filled with pain or discomfort, but it’s all you have to work with.
And this is something you’ll have to remember for each day of your life. Life will never be ideal. A perfect existence does not mean the absence of anything negative. In other words, don’t be surprised when bad things happen: EXPECT bad things to happen.
Your job is to gird yourself up – to eat right, sleep well, and become emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy – so that you can face the challenges that are going to come your way.
If you remember nothing else, remember this: You are absolutely guaranteed troubles.
No one gets off scot-free. There is very little joy without pain or success without failure. There are no perfect relationships, perfect people, perfect children, perfect lives or perfect careers. Everyone has their share of flaws, imperfections and peccadilloes. (Especially) including you. Just like all people are not a joy to deal with on a day-to-day basis, neither are you. Neither am I. The comforting fact is the realization that we all share these flaws and imperfections. And we all experience good and bad days. Pain, tragedy, discomfort, depression, trials, tribulations and poor circumstances are great equalizers. Everyone experiences them in some measure and everyone finds their own way to cope with them. And that’s life.
