THE DANGERS OF COMFORT

The human race has always sought the comfort, what will facilitate the action, because we are immersed in various daily tasks, and the more practical are the instruments and their operation, we feel better making serve them.
Comfort is a synonimus of quality, useful service. Get requests observe subject and object, note the needs or desires, and find the appropiate materials that conform to the objective.
The comfort has been created. In any field we are surrounded by instruments, each with a function, which act as a intermediaries between our pretensions and their contribution.
We have been gradually moving from a rural life, with great physical effort, to a mechanized social life, where has been reduced to a minimum the use of force. It is certainly a step forward by the benefits, speed and comfort extended in all sectors.
We are designed to be active , and if before it was an excess by too much, now is by little. We have to take advantage of the technique and what it offers us, and at the same time the appropiate way to increase the movement through exercises, of a training that keep us flexible and in shape. The sedentary life style leads to atrophy, and what seems comfortable input by no effort, at the end was just becoming embarrassed by the loss of mobility, the discredited and risk of overweight.
Not everything that we think will be comfortable if the powers are declining in some sense, a feeling or finding of wear by inaction, the supposed benefit will become a prejudice.
The best way to preserve optimal conditions is through regular use. It is essential to maintain a daily mental and physical activity, to be attentive, concetrate, and especially preserve the capacity for rapid response and thinking, our most important instruments for the autonomy and execution of the intended.
Comfort in the tools facilitating work, accompanied by a dynamism that keep the body in good condition. We need to look at challenges that takes us out of our comfort zone, because the progress is achieved through movements that causes changes. Conformism to stay as we are, not to take risks for fear of losing what is today, in fact, it is a discomfort uncomfortable, because the stagnation is deteriorating, and if measures are not taken of shock what occurs is a slow death by inaction.
The inertia that stops is an obstacle, limited, conditions, is fear of the unknown, to not wanting to risk what is old to what´s new, despite the fact that it can be much better and provide ourselves with more favorable conditions. And all these " alleged amenities " end up becoming great inconvenience.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude is a sign of appreciation and valuation, taking into account that everything is a loan. Nothing of what we have had, or we have currently is only product of our effort, there will always be someone involved in the journey. This serves to realize our continues dependence, reason enough to show us humble before the vastness.
We need to nourish our bodies constantly for the purpose of preserving the optimal conditions for subsistence. At the physical level we need oxygen, water and food, offered in all by nature. We have not created any food, we are subordinates, and as such it is a duty to ensure the preservation of the environment in the best conditions. Emotionally, we have to establish links that facilitate interaction to achieve a balance between the internal and external. To mental level, we must attain knowledge to develop in different situations. Here the dependency is at the lowest rate, since the ability of discernment, observation, and draw conclusions, rest solely on the ability of each one.
Everything that surrounds us, near or distant, known or unknown, has a function, a few features, makes a contribution, and only by this observation we must be thanking the many goods that make it easy to operate and access to a comfort, as well as resources for exchanges.
What we believe is inherently own about what we think or feel, it is influenced by various factors, cultural field, training, concerns, character. They are part of us, but in reality is an absortion we do through impacts received by our code of values and abilities. It is not possible to measure the proportion of ideas or feelings arising from us.
Gratitude is to take nothing for granted, we have to win. Relentless acknowledge the contribution of other people and materials that are the support that we facilitate connections bring us closer to the objectives.
Gratitude is not only has to focus on what we like, in what seems good, in what has been achieved, in what we receive. Must always be present, in what we see favorable or unfavorable, as heavy or light, in the softness or hardness. The growth is composed of a portion of ease and difficulty, and only one of them would impede the progress; therefore we must embrace the two stands.
We should not be too hasty in drawing conclusions. What initially appreciate like good or bad only can knows at the end of a process short or long depending on each context. The qualitative and quantitative difference, what we´ve gained, lost, and where we perform, will be the indicators.
What is gone is a loss, but this also leads to a gain, the vacuum is impossible, and just for this, to flow with life and constant opportunities it offers, we must be eternally grateful.
