Thirty minutes spent thinking… sitting… staring at a blank page… as much as it might feel like a time waste… especially when the goal is to fill that blank page with words…
…Isn’t time wasted.
The real time waste happens when we forget what the real goal is.
…Which, at a more fundamental level, isn’t to fill blank pages with words.
…It’s to reconnect with the present moment of life that we have now.
Too easy is it in today’s world to forget that we even exist. Too much time do we spend distracted, selling our attention, consuming the lives of countless others and comparing the countless ways in which we lack.
When really… all we need to do to start feeling better… is cut all that.
…And maybe spend significantly more time thinking… sitting… staring at blank pages… confronting what it is that’s going in our minds… these minds we’ve been gifted… as we trudge forward through the thick and thin of it all… this whole experienced wrapped as a miraculous gift… the gift of life.
