The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection. George Orwell

Your car didn’t start?

You failed a test?

You were fired from work?

You had an accident?

Your heart was broken?

You lost a loved one?

You lost money?

You missed a flight?

Well, welcome to the club.

If you’ve experienced any of the above then you are member of the human club.

The fact is, difficulties and setbacks don’t just happen to you but also billions of other members.

The list you read is the shortlist. Many members have experienced and endured so much more.

I know when you joined the club, you weren’t told about all the things you might experience, but it’s because we didn’t want to scare you.

Now look at the list again.

Do you see the empty spaces between each question?

That’s where the beauty of life resides.

That’s where the fun happens.

And that’s what I want you to focus on.

That’s where your life will be moving along smoothly and you won’t realize it until you come up against the next challenge.

You will undoubtedly encounter challenges, but that’s the price of membership paid not just by you but by everyone around you.

However, if you can shift your focus from the price you pay to the benefits you get, and the moments you enjoy, then you’ll realize it’s well worth being a member of the club.

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please share it with one person you love.
