Sometimes it´s hard to appreciate life. It´s hard to find inner peace in the present and enjoy one´s life to the fullest. Most of us that live in the modern western societies seem to have problems and complaints about all kinds of things in our every day lifes. Put in perspective most of our problems are ridicoulously small. When you have your own home, your food on the table and you feel safe, then you don´t really have anything to worry about. It´s when these things are lost that we realise how good a life we really had. It might be someone close getting sick or dying, or oneself getting sick, or loosing one´s home and livelihood. 

When we loose our health or our dear ones everything is put in perspective and our main values in life become super clear. My thought is. Why not live with this thought in our minds everyday. You don´t need anything bad to happen to realise what a gift life really is.  The truth is that life is by no means for certain. Every one of us can be swept away in split seconds. Life is fragile and we should do our best to enjoy our days as long as we´re blessed with them. I believe that with that belief in our mind life will be lived a lot fuller and more intense and with a lot more of passion. I´m not sure but I truly believe that a lot of our problems and complaints will be out of focus in our minds if we could follow this road.  

Today´s wisdom: "Life is not given, every day is a gift!"´
