If you are ready put your life in Drive!

In life we should take nothing for granted.  Especially the things that matter and which make a difference in our lives.  We all know our responsibilities to our health and family, but I am adding to this equation, also those that mean something and the opportunities we get over a lifetime of working situations.  We should never underestimated the importance of friendships and contacts and what they mean, nor should we take for granted that they will always be there.  Situations may change and circumstances unrelated, may have an ultimate effect on the relationships which is why, it so important, to recognise the value in good relationships and to ensure that they are worked on and reinforced.  It may be a cliche to state that relationships are hard work at the best of times, but this is more than true when "the chips are down" and a crisis comes.  This is the time when friendships get tested and it is a healthy and positive result if the friendship is strengthened and relationship grows even in the midst of a crisis.  Real honesty and integrity can be a very painful and hurtful space, but there is little point in sweeping the matter away, when you know deep down how important it is to you.  You can try to remain neutral, but sometimes things happen that make us shake off neutrality and enter into the contest.  What results may not always be pretty or comfortable, but certainly our stance can make a visible difference to the people around us.  Neutrality for the sake of peace keeping or responsibility to ensure that others don't get hurt may be a safe option, but it is also not necessarily the way to achieve change.  Stepping forward and towards your dream or belief, is the first step, but continuing to do so is living life.  Keep in balance only the things that are necessary and don't hang onto that which you cannot change even with the best intentions.  Some things are meant to be, no matter which way the dice rolls or the bell tolls!
