Sometimes you need to go very fast or stay extra late. It might be to get work done before a holiday, or finish your project or university application. Regardless of what it is for, occasionally you need to go all out and blast through things with crazy intent.
You can always catch up on sleep once the storm has passed.
Chat more with friends and families. You will learn a lot and everyone should get closer. Take the time to make these conversations happen. You’ll be glad you did as the relationships grow.
Life can be exhausting. A good counter to all that is getting to bed early. It can be hard to do while others are still up and party’s are going on, but the benefits of early to bed and early to rise can be well worth while.
I can sometimes just keep going. There is always just one more thing to do. However, there comes a time you need to say enough is enough and go to sleep.
Summer can be such a lovely time of year, depending on what your local weather pattern is like. I really enjoy summer. The heat is nice. So is going out in my shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.
When you think about it, you get about 75 summers, if you’re lucky. You may get 20 more, or 20 less. In addition, the first five to 10 years should have been great, but hard to remember.
Since I’ve had quite a few summers, I’ve got fewer left ahead of me. For this reason alone, I say, enjoy your summers!!!
There is no pause button in life. A picture may be the closest thing to a pause button. Although it captures a moment in time, it still doesn’t halt time.
Even when you stop and look at that stopped moment in time, actual time keeps ticking along.
How you spend your time is a fascinating thing. Take time to smell the roses but also keep cramming it all in before your final buzzer.
Sometimes it makes sense to go off the grid. Spend a month totally focused on eat, sleep, work. Make some massive gains in your business, family, relationship, finances or health.
It’s only 30 days. It’s a small price to pay to make rapid and massive gains. Try it.
Not making plans can lead to disaster, or at least a less fulfilling life. Making plans and not following them could be quite frustrating as you neglect your dreams and don’t reach your own expectations.
If you have an exciting vision, make a plan to get there and follow the plan, you are very likely to achieve it. Now go give it a try!
Live in the moment. I take a lot of pictures, but I rarely go back to them. Even if I did, would I want to relive all 70,000 moments? It’s like reliving my life while pausing what is happening now for several years!
(Assume 5 seconds to see, on average, each photo. That’s 3 years of 40 hour work weeks to see all the shots. That does not include video.)
And then what do you do with these when you pass? Your children might want a few pictures of you and them in them and that’s it.
Then do you bin or delete all those pics after years of taking them?
Maybe our maker did a better job preparing for this. Only really important memories are kept. The rest disappear. And when you pass, they all go with you.
Think about that. And live in the moment.
Ahhhhhh…..
