Today's
Meditation:
There's
plenty of time that I've wasted away that I'll never get
back again. I don't agonize over that fact, for if I
did I'd be wasting the present, also, but I do keep it in
mind as I go about making decisions day after day. I
guess the most difficult question that I face is how I
should best spend my time. I may need to rest, but
someone I know may need to talk to someone, and there I
am. Which is best for me to do? Usually, I'll
listen to my heart and trust that a time of rest will come
for me soon, then spend the time with the person. I
think that in making decisions, people always should come
before work (unless being fired is imminent), especially at
home. Spending
time making sure that I have enough rest is also important,
because that determines just how effective I am at other
things. And rest doesn't have to involve laying or
sitting down--a nice walk in the woods or out in the desert
is just as invigorating for me as is a nap. TV?
As little as possible, though I do love to laugh, and there
are some half-hour shows that always make me laugh. I
try to read a lot, and I try not to spend time worrying or
fretting about things out of my control--that's time that
I'll definitely waste. But
these are personal views--what about you? What are
your best uses of time, and your worst? It isn't until
we actually start to think of such things that we can change
some of our habits that may be limiting us, keeping us from
getting the most of the gift of the time that we have to
spend here on this beautiful planet. |
