i feel like this should be something really profound. something really motivational. something really inspiring.
i'm going to be honest with you, i'm feeling none of those things in this exact moment. instead of trying to come up with something that is half-cracked i figure i might as well piggy-back off a quote i find to be all of those things:
remembering you are going to die is the best way i know how to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. you are already naked. there is no reason to not follow your heart.
-steve jobs
so i start the year with some questions, for you and for me:
what are you going to learn?
who are you going to give your heart to?
how are you going to respond to all of life's circumstances?
when are you going to do that thing that you've been too scared to do?
why not do it now? (you're already naked after all)
welcome, 2016. let's do this.
xo
Great questions (and quote).
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to learn? - I want to learn how to be a better father; ways to teach my kids skills and life lessons, and how to love God more.
Who are you going to give your heart to? My family
How are you going to respond to all of life's circumstances? My goal is to do a lot more praying this year!
When are you going to do that thing that you've been too scared to do? I suppose it would be good to write these things down, along with a timeline of when
I'll do them.
Why not do it now? (you're already naked after all). I'm actually dressed. I'm at work, and we're not allowed to work naked. I can't really do these things now because (A) I'm at work, and (B) it's easier to say I'll do the tough things at some later, future date.
those are fantastic, nate. truly.
ReplyDeletei mean the last one was snarky but what's nate without a little snark? :)
