In working on being more present as a Daddy and Husband I’ve had more and more special experiences.

Like yesterday morning, my younger daughter, Natalia (age 8 almost 9) told me a story of how she was making her School harder by blocking answers and such, because it was too easy for her so I understood and related to her that she wanted a challenge, which is normal for an intelligent girl like herself.

But I also realized I’ve done the same thing and found it to lack common sense at times by seeing it objectively.

So I reminded her that life gives its own challenges and we don’t need to make it harder than it is. I told her about when My wife, Maricarmen, and I do obstacle courses that we don’t have to make them MORE CHALLENGING but if there’s a free range of flat grass from “here to there” we don’t low crawl or star jump it, we sprint and focus on SPEED since it’s EASY.

In the past I’ve made business harder than it is and then when a real challenge presents itself I’ve folded.

When life is easy be open to find someone that has it harder and help them see the light again!

It will open your eyes more so when life is harder again for you (while on lookers are thinking how can that be hard) you’ve already GIVEN WITHOUT RECIPROCITY and now are more ready to HUMBLY RECEIVE remembering how good it felt when you gave and helped someone else and not wanting to stop someone of that joy to solve your problem.
