Come Alive

Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you had one week left to live, would you still be doing what you’re doing now? In what areas of your life are you preparing to live? Take them off your To Do list and add them to a To Stop list. Resolve to only do what makes you come alive.

Bonus: How can your goals improve the present and not keep you in a perpetual “always something better” spiral?

This prompt  is something that I have had several conversations with people about. This idea of contentment. We live in a society that breeds discontentment and we grow tired and weary because we are chasing after the wind. 

The things that make me come most alive is being with people and hearing their stories of life. However, this is an area I need to focus on and get rid of my to do list and focus on being more present with relationships and taking time to build those relationships.
