What were your favorite things to do when you were a little kid?
For me, it was making art, reading, and riding my bike.
What’s on your list of things?
Now, how many of those things do you still actually do?
I got a 1 out of 3.
I still read voraciously, but rarely make art, and I cannot remember the last time I was on a bike — maybe 20+ years ago.
Why not?
Often because we are working too hard — much of the time doing things we don’t actually like doing so we can pay the bills. Or we are spending all of our time maintaining the way-too-big house, or other things we bought and now have to take care of.
It’s like we are competing with our own life.
What’s the point?
Go back to your list and see which one thing you would really like to do. Is it possible to do now?
How can you bring more of that one thing into your life?
