Getting back to basics
When things get complicated or tough, that is the best course of action.
Decide what is essential today. The rest can wait for another day. Of those basic tasks I like to break those things down too, into an even simpler, manageable list.
Sometimes a challenge or life hurdle is needed in order to strip away the unessential life frills and realise the difference between needs and wants. Real and superficial. Required and desired.
Sometimes in life those basics are lost.
Whether it be the provision of basic life needs or your ability to perform basic tasks, due to illness or the removal of liberties.
Shelter
Warmth (it's winter in my part of the world)
Clean water
Food in belly
Safety
Love
Hope
These things we too often take for granted.
If you have them all, really have all of them, (especially if you have experienced a time when you were without them,) You are rich beyond measure.
