Spring is right around the corner and many of us are starting to wonder how to spend our warm and sunny days. Of course, just because of the change of season; that doesn’t mean we will have more actual “time” to enjoy the company of friends and loved ones. We will simply make it happen because it is what we do in better weather, longer days and more sunshine.
The option of “having time” to reallocate to spend as we choose is becoming fleeting both in our society and culture and through the course of nature. When we spend our time making money, we often don’t make the time to enjoy it. When and if we get older and have less work, many may no longer have the resources or the health to enjoy that extra time. It’s more important that our “living” takes control our lives instead of our jobs.
Have you considered discovering ways to live a little at the office? A good brisk walk, a few minutes in a sunny place nearby (we actually ask everyone take ten “sunny minutes” at our office each day) can be refreshing. Or maybe read a chapter or two from a good book or magazine, even a simple phone call to the kids or spouse to let them know you’re thinking of them and will see them soon — are some of the little ways we can make big differences in our personal happiness and in turn, those whose lives we touch.
Personally the idea of “spare time” is ridiculous. Time, unlike money, cannot be saved for a rainy day or hidden away like a tire in our trunk to be used in an emergency. However if we don’t use it wisely and think about who and what exactly are we using it for…it too can lose value and become flat before you know it. We should start asking ourselves more about the quality of our lives as we never know the quantity of our days.
to your business!
