One Day at A Time
- Drifting or Swimming Thru Life?
With the passing of well know and award winning author E. Lynn Harris this past week my thoughts run towards quality of live issues. Given our own mortality, one would hope later not sooner, how do we spent out time? The Twelve Step slogan “One Day at A Time” reminds us of the finite nature of our moments, hours, days, and span. And the goal of living this day, just this day, to it’s fullest.
All to often we hear, or state to others, “I’m so busy. I don’t have enough time. When can I ever find the time to see you.”
The use of our time is about decisions. Do you spend an evening watching some inane television…or worse yet, reruns of ‘Law & Order’ you’ve already seen three times? Or is spending and hour on the phone catching up with two old friends giving them the quality time only you can offer a better use of your time? Which do you want to choose?
Living ‘One Day at A Time’ means making choices. Only you can decide how you’re going to enrich the lives of others, and thereby your own life.
Coaching Assignment: List three ways in which you waste the precious time you have in one single day. Any day will do, yet a weekend day might be a good place to start. Then list three things you WILL do differently with each of those hours you choose to be filled with more quality. Report back so we can explore your decisions further.
Are you drifting thru live? Or are you enjoying the quality of the swim with others?
