How can we make the most out of our time on Earth and truly live every day to the fullest? I used to think that the goal of life was to reach a state of perfect comfort, where the days were easy, and the path was clear. I thought that if I could just organize my life well enough, I could enjoy a kind of permanent vacation. But I have come to realize that this desire for ease is actually a form of hiding. A full life is not found in safety. You are a candle. A candle that sits unlit in a box may last forever, but it never fulfills its purpose. To truly live is to burn yourself down for something that matters. The people who leave this world having truly lived didn't have balanced schedules. They had heavy burdens that they chose to carry. They understood that the struggle was the very substance of it. If you want to make the most of your time, find something difficult that demands everything you have, and give it until you have nothing left. The only true waste is to arrive at the end of your days completely rested, having never really started at all. We need to put Creator (God, Universe, The Great Spirit, Allah or whatever name you choose) first in everything you want to do before you begin, what you desire to have day and night, then you have to work because without work nothings possible. Chances are very high that you won't get what you desire. Attachments show up in various disguises: Practicality, habits, duties, views, possessions, relationships, rituals, ceremonies, traditions, and more. We see their true nature when the spell cast by them is lifted. But they make our world go! True, for a householder, this is the world. It's attachment to and clinging to objects that cause suffering, not the objects themselves. Is it better to be wise or happy? I think they are bound together. Wisdom is not just knowing things but involves living on things we believe and know to be right, which will lead to true happiness. Feeling good and comfortable for me is not happiness proper, but living on the truths, on the harmony of the natural world, and using things as they should be used, which will lead to wisdom. And one can live comfortably outwardly for a whole life in luxury, but that seems to be not happiness, as inwardly one must always deal one way or another with his demons, with his desires, his greed, his hatred, his pleasure, his pain,…. and without wisdom, like a compass in a ship, he will get lost and become a slave to his irrational part.

Today's wisdom: In life, there are red lights, yellow lights, and green lights. Red lights tell you that you must stop. This is a good time to evaluate your life and find out where you are and who you are. Yellow lights tell you that you need to slow down. This gives you time to reevaluate your situation. The green light tells you that it is time to move forward. The problem is that most people get stuck at the red light when the green light is telling us that we need to move forward.

As some of you know I'm working on a handbook for at-risk youth. I've put together a 5 part series complete homework. These lessons are geared to help build up their mindset. I would like your honest opinion on each lesson. Let me know if you see something that is missing or things that I should add. I want these lessons to be the best that they can be because I want the youth to be the best that they can possibly be. Thank you. Transform Adversity into Opportunity Lesson 1 Reading Lesson Life is not easy—and it was never meant to be. Everyone faces challenges: failing a test, getting cut from a team, family problems, stress, fear, or feeling like you’re not good enough. Most people think these moments mean something is wrong with them. But what if that’s not true? Think about going to the gym. When you lift weights, it feels hard. Your muscles burn. But that struggle is what makes you stronger. If the weight were easy, nothing would change. Life works the same way. Challenges are not there to stop you. They are there to train you. Every hard moment asks a question: Will this break me—or build me? Quotes to Remember “Pressure doesn’t break you—it reveals you.” “Fire doesn’t destroy steel. It forges it.” “Every challenge is training for something greater.” The Storm and the Trees (parable) Two trees grew in the same field. Both faced the same wind, rain, and storms. One tree had never been challenged before. When a strong storm came, it snapped. The other tree had faced storms many times. Its roots grew deeper. Its trunk grew stronger. When the storm hit, it bent—but it did not fall. Same storm, but there were different results because one was prepared and the other wasn't. Think About This Challenges doesn’t choose favorites. The difference is how you respond. You don’t control what happens to you. You do control what you become because of it. Reflection Questions (Answer in Complete Sentences) What is a challenge you are facing right now? How do you usually react when things get hard?
