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.

From the natural disasters reported at the start of the year, to the current global pandemic, to the current fight for justice for the lives lost at the hands of those in authority.  Faced with these uncertainties, and what we now term the new normal, many don't know how they'll make it through, but I'd like to encourage you to  keep pressing forward despite all the challenges. With less than six months to go, there's no telling what you and I can accomplish in between that time. Don't give up hope, kee...
