At the start of the holiday season in what has been a long, frustrating year, I want to tell you something incredibly important. So stop multitasking and take a few minutes to read and fully digest these words:
We do not have to be good at everything.
We live in a society that glorifies hard work and misery. We all compete for the prize of who is the busiest, who is the most tired, who has the most stress. But in the long hours of stretched thin overworking, have you ever paused to ask yourself why? If we don’t find joy in all of this hard work, why are we spending so much time doing it? The pandemic, among other things, has reminded us that life is precious and time is not a thing to waste. As we close out this trying year, we should contemplate what we have learned in the time of corona and how we can make life better moving forward.
As you celebrate what you are thankful for this week, I urge you to think about what brings you joy, and vow to spend more time doing those things, and less time being miserable.
It’s okay, I give you permission. And I’ll do it too. 😉
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks, Julia! Have a lovely Thanksgiving!
Goodness, amen to this. Thank you, Julia!
You are very welcome, my friend. 🙂
