We live our lives conditionally. Often, we arbitrarily create conditions and expectations that prevent us from moving forward, such as “I’ll start exercising right after the holidays.” We find reasons to postpone what we intrinsically know we should do right away. We kind of put life on hold. As we know, time doesn’t wait for anyone. We constantly and continuously miss opportunities. All that comes about because we haven’t enthusiastically bought into our purpose of adding the highest value in all our endeavors.

Today, living conditionally has become our habit. If we systematically develop a habit of unconditional living and the habit of continuously and enthusiastically focusing on our purpose at all times, we will become highly proactive. We’ll unconditionally take on and complete all of our tasks that add the highest value.

When our focus is on adding the highest value in all that we do, we become void of judgments, expectations, and prejudices —instigated by our insecurities, greed, fear, and egos — that end up paralyzing us. People who are unable to succeed often wait for the right conditions to appear and become expert in explaining their failures. Conversely, people who succeed capitalize on existing conditions and circumstances, learn from their setbacks, and convert obstacles into opportunities to grow and add value.
