"It's not that we have a short time to live, it's that we waste a lot of it."
- Seneca, on the shortness of life
And isn't that the truth!
What makes for a happy and fulfilled life in that case?
One without waste?
One with presence?
Each day we decide on what we do and give ourselves reasons why.
I have very much been a place of disease, where every outing felt like a waste. The little inner voice always calling out for more, "do more", it says, "be more productive", "you shouldn't be here wasting time, you should be working".
But the thing is, I took notice of these feelings. I realized that time passes and we can either look at what's in front of us as wasteful, or make conscious and intentional choices for the life we want to live - today.
There is no waste of time when your time is doing something you deem important, impactful, and out of love. Finding those reasons will make your life feel long, valuable, and less wasteful.
May you find the simple things in life that make your time long.
All the love in the world,
