What is this life?
How should we really live it?
EVERYDAY…WITHOUT FAIL…
life comes with different flavours…
pleasant…unpleasant…wonderful…
boring…tiring…fulfilling…

Life does not place choices before us.
What you see is what you get.
So, what can we do?
TAKE one of two approaches:
 Face life as it comes
 Make life build your future
Most Often…the challenges…
overpower and overwhelm us.
Unable to deal with them gracefully:
 Sometimes we stumble
 Often, we grumble
 We also crumble…
BECAUSE we lose our poise.
Our attitude is faulty.
Challenges should stimulate us
Obstacles should challenge us
Difficulties should pull out the best in us
IN SHORT:
challenges should get our best performance.

For that, regardless…we must breeze through
all challenges with a smile
BUT…there is more…
In facing challenges…
we should not:
 get exhausted
 lose energy
 lose humour
 lose our smile
 lose sight of our goal(s).
INSTEAD our goals
should so inspire us…
that challenges become the 'fun'
of our journey to reach the goals.
We don’t need to master…
the art of facing challenges…that is easy
We need to MASTER…
the art of enjoying challenges!
