The key is in not spending time, but in investing it – Stephen Covey

The key is in not spending time: Time is lost, even before we start thinking about it. Unfortunately, most times we don’t treat time with the same respect because something else takes priority. This quote by Stephen Covey, makes us pause and rethink about time as an investment for the future. As much as I like the idea of investing time in the future, I’m conflicted with the thought that disregards the present and treats it as a tool for the future.

Happiness is not a goal, it’s a by-product of a life well lived

Happiness is not a goal: I think we have it the wrong way around when we say happiness is a goal in life. If you look long enough, you realise that happiness is elusive. We have better luck finding joy. So, I’d argue that this chase of happiness is not only elusive but a foolish pursuit. We find joy in the things we do, face them in the moment and create memories and narratives around them. In other words, what we face as joy in the current moment ends up being a definition of happiness in some cases. In this case, the quote from Eleanor Roosevelt makes us pause and ask a question about happiness. Is happiness truly the goal of life and if so how do we realise it?

Great minds discuss ideas – Eleanor Roosevelt

Great minds discuss ideas: It is rather a powerful quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that reminds us of the temptation of gossip and talking about people. As tempting as it is to talk about other people, ideas are more powerful. It is these ideas that rule the world, make changes and question us. These ideas have a powerful way of becoming reality and changing our world. Unless we immerse ourselves in the beauty of these ideas, we’ll remain stuck in the pettiness of distractions.

Faith Is Taking The First Step When You Don’t See the whole staircase

Faith is taking the first step: Faith is a hard thing, right? It asks us to trust in something without seeing the results or proof of it working our way. Yet, we are expected to believe in it without adequate proof. Whether it is a question of religion, confidence or belief in our abilities, this question will remain the same. The answer however is not in having the results but the trust to make it work. And that’s precisely why faith is hard and so many of us lose it along the way. The truth is, sometimes it is important to lose this faith only to find a new one. Everything renews, including the definition of who we are, and what we trust and believe in.

3 Rules to deal with Not Having Enough Time?

Not Having Enough Time: We are always busy – too many things clamouring for attention. This makes managing time and stress very difficult. However, it is a pertinent problem – big enough to ensure that we must do something about it.
