Words that caught us: Am i spending my days the way i want?

 Are you spending your days

The way you want?

 

There will always be days

That don’t go our way –

A few digressions and diversions, here and there.

But if your days are a constant drag,

Full of turmoil and frustration,

That sucks the life out of you,

Then the following words

Can help you decide

On your next steps.

 

"When considering a new project or opportunity,

One of the first questions to ask is,

"How do I want to spend my days?”

Make as few choices as possible

That violate your answer.

Many opportunities seem exciting,

But actually give you less of the life you want."

 

This question - 

How do we want to spend our days –

Applies to more situations

Than just new projects or opportunities.

We believe it also applies to relationships,

The friends we keep,

The clothes we wear,

The food we eat or cook,

How we spend our leisure time,

How we use modern tech and gadgets,

The places we commonly visit and shop,

Our careers,

The work we do,

And the people we serve.

 

It applies to everything we do,

In life and work.

It is everybody’s constant challenge!

 

Are you spending your days

The way you want?

 

If not, you can change this

By simply making fewer choices,

That violate your answer!

 

The key word is ‘FEWER’.

Not ‘none’.

This is not about perfection (It doesn't exist).

It's about progressively getting better.

 

Some choices, we can change;

If not immediately, progressively.

Others, not very much. And that's okay.

What matters is what can change

Going forward.

What choices have you made

That violate your answer?

Which of these are changeable?

Which one can you change today?

Where can you begin living

The life you really want, today?
