Live life by design not default

Lagos, Algarve, Portugal


Hello

Today's post is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

 “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”

Awareness: My spare time is a precious commodity that should not be regarded lightly, once gone, it’s gone.

Change/Take Action: I will redefine the way I see and use my spare time. I will use and continue to use my spare time as an opportunity to improve myself, my skills and my life in general for the future I wanted to see tomorrow.

For me, in a nutshell, this means living by design and not by default.

Book Recommendation: Today Matters by John C. Maxwell

Hello Hope you're well. I wanted to quickly share with you a book I've been reading over the past couple of months.  It is called Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. In Today Matters , Maxwell advises that "the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. Successful people make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily." He identifies 12 areas of life in which he believes the right decisions should be made. Once made, these decisions should be practised on a daily basis. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 - Today's Thinking Gives Me An Advantage. John outlines various types of thinking including intentional thinking, big-picture thinking, creative thinking, etc. He explains the benefit of finding a time and space to practise the habit of good thinking daily. For me, my focus right now is intentional and creative thinking. You can purchase your copy of Today Matters...
