The more I consider what it’s costing me, the more I realize that it’s way overpriced.
I guess the real question is: Are we getting what we’re paying for?
Henry David Thoreau was not only someone who reflected deeply, and shared those reflections compellingly. He was also someone who measured stuff meticulously.
The price of anything is the amount of life you pay for it, Thoreau suggested.
Are you allocating your precious resources in a way that serves what you value most?
Are you overpaying?
It was nearly empty today.
We had it all to ourselves.
No lines; no waiting.
It was so quiet and peaceful.
It’ll be that way next week too. Unless…
Having good time mastery will help.
Understanding the power of habit is useful.
But connecting again with what it is you really, really want?
Priceless.
You’ve been robbed. And you may not even know it.
Embezzled may be a better word. Because it’s all rather sneaky and pernicious.
These things that were meant to serve us too often steal from us.
Our time.
Our ability to reflect.
Our ability to do deep work.
Our connection with one another.
Stand guard.
We like to pretend.
That’s there’s time.
Time to follow our hearts; time to fulfill our dreams.
Time to connect and catch up; time to mend the fence.
Time to write the book; time to make the art.
Time to launch the business; time to share the message.
But.
There is no time.
All we have is now.
Tomorrow is promised to no one. And no one gets out alive.
So then.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” the poet Mary Oliver asked.
What will you do today?
What is your definition of success?
$30 million in the bank?
A villa in Tuscany?
A 60′ yacht?
A published book?
Awesome health?
An amazing relationship?
Achievement junkies have a tendency to go after a goal, check the box, and then… go after the next one. Without stopping; without lingering; without acknowledging. Without any sense of appreciation or self-affirmation.
And the problem with having a thing or a bank balance as your measure of success is that it’s easy to keep moving the target further out… always wanting more… never really knowing if you’ve achieved “enough.”
There’s no “right” measure of success.
It’s just useful to know what it is for you.
So you don’t miss it.
