The routine of life!

Good afternoon buzzers! Happy Hump day! It's a great day to be alive, much like any day! Gratitude is something we need to embrace, we should be thankful for every day, every second!

Those days we feel the lowest are the days we have the most potential to improve, grow and flourish! Imagine if you never had a struggle in your life, everything is handed to you on a plate, there's always someone else dealing with any little niggle that might affect your life!

Do you think you'd be happy? A better person?

Or are those struggles the thing that shapes us? Do the small daily grinds make us more resilient, more efficient, and a better overall person?

We're all familiar with the phrase 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' and whilst, in general terms, this is not true! Many things can weaken us, without killing us! The sentiment is there, without those struggles, we'd never learn, never grow, never improve!

Of course, making life 'easy' will vary for each of us, some of our daily routines will vary massively from even our next-door neighbour, there are no general rules for life. Well, maybe 'don't harm anyone else'. Apart from that, the main goal is being happy! Whatever that means for us! One man's happiness will be another's nightmare.

If we truly want something, we should be able to get it. There's nothing really stopping you except yourself. There's a big difference between 'want' and 'would like'. Much like the difference between 'want' and 'need'. Our needs are the first category we must meet, food, water, and life! However, our wants are what set us apart from each other. Of course, we'll all have 'would likes', we'd all like to be happy, rich, funny, sexy...fast? The list goes on, especially for a sloth! But anything we truly 'want' we could achieve!

If we truly wanted to be rich, we'd find a way to make that happen, whether it's working 18-20 hours days, sacrificing social life, not having a family, or whatever it takes to achieve that goal. If we truly 'wanted' to have a 6pac, or be the world's strongest man/woman, we could do it. It would again take a lot of hard work and sacrifice, but if we truly wanted these things, they are achievable.

So, next time we get into a rut, take some time to think about what you truly want. Set goals, push yourself harder than you've ever pushed before! Of course, there's going to be hurdles, the main thing is overcoming these hurdles. How we achieve this, is what will set us ahead (or behind) everyone else! You have the power to change the world, or become the dream you think your life should be! You must make it happen though, don't expect anyone to do it for you!

Well, that's my sloth thoughts for this afternoon! Time to push myself to be a better sloth! One slothly step at a time, chasing the buzz!

Sloth out.
