Good morning. It is a beautiful day here in Arkansas. I hope it's beautiful where you are. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. I've been very focused on a project the last few days and I haven't been on social media. I got on this morning to check some accounts and I noticed that several of my friends were using the hashtag No romaine lettuce here. I had no idea what that was about, so I got in a conversation with one of my friends on Instagram and asked why everybody was using this hashtag, and she told me that there was a recall of lettuce. And then we started talking about some other things, but I got to thinking, is it a big deal that I missed this entire conversation about romaine lettuce. Apparently it's been a conversation of many people in the past few days, and I totally missed it. But that's okay. There are hundreds of conversations we can get in every day, and we really need to focus on the conversations that are relevant and timely for us, for where we are, for what we're doing now in our personal life, in our business, and what conversations we need to spend our time on. Because we can really waste a lot of time that we could be using better somewhere else by engaging in conversations that really don't have any impact on us, that really don't have any influence in, in our current situation, where we are right now, what we're doing right now. Not that they aren't good and important conversations, but they just aren't good and important conversations for us at this moment. So my challenge to you is to take a look at the conversations that you're having. Are they conversations that you need to be having, or you should you be having conversations about other things that are more relevant, that are more important to your place and position right now. That's all I got for today. I'll see you again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
