When the petrol is being tipped on the fire

There are situations in life when it is best to just step away.

When both sides have lost composure, lost their sense of perspective, when anger has come to the situation.

It is best to walk away, otherwise, we end up just pouring petrol on the flames and neither side wins and everyone loses.

Step back and allow the flames to subside.

Every day is a bonus

If you are reading this you are alive.

You will have had a lifetime up to today.

There will have been good, bad, and ugly days.

The thing is every day that we wake up is a bonus, there is no guarantee, there is no contract that you’ll definitely get ‘x’ amount of life.

If you are here to just eat, sleep, work all hours to pay bills that make others wealthy and buying stuff that will not enrich our lives, then there is no point.

We are all here for our own individual purpose, spend a little time each day making this day count in some way towards that purpose, do something that brings you joy. Spend time with those who matter, make experiences, make memories.

Don’t waste the bonus that today is.
