I challenge you. I challenge you to, to this, to think about this and, and consider it and how you reacted. Oscar Wilde said, to live is the rarest thing. And most people exist. And I may, I'm certain at this point I'm misquoting it. But to live with intention instead of just existing, wake up day and day just to do what you, you quote unquote, have to do. I think that you're cheating yourself. And I really hope that you never wake up one day to look at your life and think, shit, I just squandered that away. I was just putting my left foot in front of my right foot and having, having to do what I needed to do instead of choosing and wanting to do what you want to do. So exist on purpose. Wake up today, wake up tomorrow. Wake up every damn day with the want to live and make your life what you want to make it, because no one else is going to do that for you. So if you're unhappy, if you're meh bleh about life, that's on you. And don't wake up one day and realize that you missed out. And the worst thing is, is that the people around you, this, this complacency or apathy is contagious, whether it's your kids, your friends, your family, your colleagues. If you're just existing, missing out and you're cheating yourself and enhance it, enhance it by enjoying that coffee in the morning, enjoying your bathroom time, even if it's with your phone. I'm. I'm pro phone in the bathroom and get a lot done during that time. So I appreciate that. Multitasking. Anyway, I digress. The point is, is just to enjoy the little things as you do it. And that creates that intentionality because you're, you're present and as you become present, because I really think phones have really shifted our lives. And to think that in 2007 was when the iPhone came out and the year before, I think Facebook came out. So get smartphones. You get this opportunity to waste time and to just have this distraction and miss out on the finer things in life. It's less than two decades we've lived through this. We. The first half of our lives, if you're anything close to my vintage, had none of us. And then all of a sudden things switched and there's the demand on us from, from employers, from family, the need to, to respond in a certain amount of time, which is something you have created for yourself. You can, you can communicate those service standards to others. And I will share my service standards in the next post as I continue to procrastinate.
