Be crazy enough to know what you need to know today

what do you need to know today.

Everything you need to know is what you have now because, people who constantly worry about what they don’t have do not enjoy the lives they are living today.

“worrying does not take away tomorrow’s problems, it takes away today’s peace.” ~Anon

The questions you need to answer are.

  • Are your lungs strong enough to pump oxygen around your body?
  • Is your body healthy enough to get you to where you need to be?
  • Do you have enough to eat?
  • Do you have a bed to sleep in?
  • Do you have clothes on your back and shoes on your feet?
  • Do you have a roof over your head?
  • Do you have a harmonious relationship with the people you interact with?
  • Are you grateful for everything you have?
  • Are you happy doing what you’re doing every day to ensure you will have all those things tomorrow?

If you can answer yes to that short list, sometimes that’s enough for now.

“Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” ~Confucius.

When you appreciate everything you have today, you will appreciate everything you will have tomorrow.
