Quote of the Week:
“Your job, throughout your entire life, is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.”
— Glennon Doyle
What I’ve Been Thinking About:
Time.
We say that we ‘spend’ time.
As if it’s money in a purse.
But truly, it is not ours to ‘spend’. Time will go by whether we intentionally spend it or not. The sun will rise and set everyday and will not give a hoot whether you have been productive, busy, social or if you have instead vegetated on the sofa for 12 hours.
What we mean by ‘spending time’ is actually just us channelling our attention.
Picture a flowing stream; we may channel the water’s direction by dropping stones, but the flow will persist.
Our job, then, is to drop stones in intentional places. To guide the flow of our time along a route that seems meaningful and beautiful to us.
“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”
― Benjamin Franklin
Question:
Audit your ‘stones’ (see above). Where are they are where are they guiding your life flow?
In good health,
