This is what life is made of.

There are no major-life-changing-decisions - Only lots of little decisions every day.

There are no mountains to climb - Just millions of tiny mole hills.

There are no years to compleate - Just one day, repeated over and over.

Children never have a first word - They just make noises that sound more and more like words.

A boy has never ‘become’ a man - he just gets less and less a boy and more and more a man over time.

Humans like to invent BIG THINGS. Mountains to climb, red lines to cross. Big things.

But there are no big things - just lots and lots of little things that look big if you stare at them from a distance.

I will not write a book - I will just decide to sit down and write for one hour. And I will repeat this little thing over and over.

No one has ever wasted a year or a month or even a week. These things do not exist. You can only waste a day (over and over).

Do not waste a single day because a life time is just one day repeated.

Do you know how people waste life times? They just waste one day, over and over.

Seize every day and every tiny oppertunity because this is all there is. Life exists in the little things. Take your little things with both hands and rip them apart!

Big things do not exist. Success, life, love, everything, it is all made out of millions of little things.

Amen.

    Does relaxation come into wasting days? What if you just want to sit down and watch television and not think for a couple of hours. Is that a waste?

    yes.

    I totall agre with you on this, Rhys! There are no big things, only a big God.

    And people? There are big people and there are small people.
    They are rarely the one you expect them to be.

    See you tonight!

    I agree with the overall theme of this blog. I disagree with your response to Justin’s comment. What, after all, was the sabbath? Athlete’s know the value of rest. And time sleeping is the most productive in the day as it increases the productivity of the other hours. There is no point in wearing yourself out with work. You will end up going backwards!

    That being said, TV is not an effective way to rest. I don’t really think too many people (myself included) know how to rest (and it is different for different people). I guess what I aspire to (but never achieve) is to spend each hour either working hard, playing hard, or resting hard.

    There were far too many parenthesis in that last paragraph.
