Wake up with some understanding

We are all survivors. We are survivors to the journey and battle that is life. You are a survivor. Your status as a survivor depends on your perception of life as a journey or a battle. The more you see it as a journey, the better life may appear. The more you view it as a battle, the more of a battle it will be. It is actually both but the side that you take the most determines your survival status.

Congratulations and welcome to a new day. You made it through yesterday, you made it through the night and most likely you will make it through the day ahead. You are still alive. Consider yourself blessed.

Learning to Understand how things work, allows us to make them work, work better or to continue working, when something goes wrong with them. Life is like that also. An understanding of life and an appreciation of the process called life can make life work better for you. You have to learn and understand a few things about life in order to thrive.

The process called life is so grand and magnificent that it defies complete understanding. Such complete understanding belongs only to the divine. Life however does not require complete understanding. It requires some understanding. If you have a good but not necessarily a complete understanding of anything, you can ensure that they work better. If you have a good understanding of how life works, you can ensure life works better for you.

Understanding that life itself is a process, provides you with a good foundation to life. Understanding that your life is a process and that it unfolds in stages, provides you with the foundation to a good or better life.

There is much to understand but there are a few things about the process worth learning, understanding and remembering. One thing to understand about the process that is life is that it is a routine. If you can embrace that thought and learn to love the routines, they become more bearable and less mundane. The more passion that you pour into these routines or the mundane, the more magnificent they can become. The more you think of them as mundane and boring, the more they take that life form.

Another thought to keep in mind is that everything takes time and that time waits for no man, woman or child. Time keeps on ticking by. An understanding of time allows you to be more organized and to appreciate each moment as they come and go. An understanding of time means that you have a certain respect for time also and do not abuse the gift of time that has been given to you in each and every capacity. The only capacity that is excused is childhood.

A life well spent has little or no regrets to it. There may be some room for sadness but no room for `Could have’, `Should have’, `Would have’ or `If only’. You do not want to get to the final stages of your life and wonder ` where did my life go.’

Enjoy the process that is life and understand that your time here on earth is limited and should be used wisely. Journey through each day with some understanding about life and let understanding guide you through your journey. If you can learn to manage your time during the day, you will find fulfillment. If you squander the time that you do have, you will find great disappointment to the day and to life.

Wake up and manage your day wisely. Set some goals, organize your time, get things done on your to do list and you will find great fulfillment to your day and to life.
