I can’t even attempt to count the things I wanted to do but decided to put off later. The amount of events, weddings, birthdays and parties that I wanted to go to but prioritized something else over it. The never ending list of projects and hobbies that I will get to later. Why is it that the things we want to do and the places we want to go take a backseat to other things in life. I understand that we can’t do every single thing we would like but we can absolutely be better about making time for the things that are important to us and bring us joy. There is no reason other than ourselves, that holds us back from experiencing life to the fullest in all periods of our life. Why do I feel guilty about taking a vacation or taking some personal time off of work when I know that there’s things I could be contributing? My time has been negotiated in with the company I work for so there should be no guilt associated with it. Often times, I need to revisit and check how narcissistic a view like that is…to think that I’m so important that they couldn’t do without me for weeks at a time. Life is here and going on with us or if we chose, around us. What would you do if you could go back and do it over. What would you like to have prioritized over something else? How would you explain to your younger self, this is something way more important than what you think it is. Now, fast forward 20 years. What would you go back and tell yourself? What is important to you now, that you should make the time for?
