When asked the question, “What’s most important to you?” often the answer is “health” or “family and friends.” These answers are all well and good but consider this:
The most precious and valuable resource we have is our time. Time is finite so how we choose to spend it really matters.
I read this a few years ago and it struck me as a more urgent way to prioritize what matters the most. The premise is, if you say your health is most important and one day find out you’re terminally ill, you’ll look back and ask yourself how you spent your time.
This week, think about what really matters to you and how you spend your time.
Are you making the most of every encounter and experience?
Are you sensually and lavishly drinking in life?
Are you joyful and happy?
Or
Are you spending too much time worrying or in fear?
Are you caring for loved ones but neglecting yourself?
Are you saying No to the things you want most?
Give your time to those people you love and that have your back and in turn, love you and have your back. Give your time to those things that light you up or put a smile on your face. Give your time to loving and nurturing yourself. Let go of the rest.
