It’s easy, especially when working a 9-5, to get sucked into the concept that Monday-Friday, our lives revolve around work and anything else is just recouperation time.
But even the busiest beavers have a lot of time outside of their professional lives, they just have to remind themselves sometimes.
When in pursuit of something that’s meaningful to us, whether it’s a job, hobby, family, or something else…we tend to lose sight of the value of the moments that lie outside of that cause. Almost as if we creat a hierarchy of importance out of the ways we spend the time in our day. The 8 hours that we spend working are “important,” and everything else is just an afterthought (or vise versa).
I’m here to remind you that there are 24 hours in a day.
If you spend 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours at work, that still leaves you 8 hours that you can fill with anything you want.
All moments matter in a full life. You can’t allow yourself to forget that.
