People engage in a wide range of activities, from basic daily tasks like eating, and sleeping to complex pursuits like work, learning, socializing, creative expression, and leisure activities. These are all shaped by their individual needs, interests, and circumstances. That said, it often seems that nothing goes as planned nor is it ever easy. Yet there are things we can do to lighten the load of what feels like pushing a stone uphill. Things like collaboration – working with others to get things done together; innovation – looking for better ways to approach our challenges; problem-solving – measuring twice before making any cuts; communicating – speaking and listening equally; adapting – being flexible and learning as you go; being prepared – eating right, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and keeping an open mind; and being kind and fair - treating others the way you want them to treat you. Stop playing the victim – we’re all in this together and need each other, so be reasonable in your expectations, lend a hand or comment when appropriate, and always be appreciative. Whether playing a game, working a job, going to school, raising a family, living in a community, being creative, or navigating life – make the most of what you have today.
