Tell It Well
2025.01.04
Good morning, that wonderful way.
Hello. O/
Welcome back.
How's the air?
Not a care?
Hyper-focused to win?
Either way, let's begin.
Do you keep a schedule?
A hard-set hour to hour minute to minute monstrosity of a task master?
Helpful time blocked hours?
An easy wake, work, sleep eat a few times go with the flow?
You ought to have some idea where you're going when you wake up.
Why else get in the car?
Some schedules are easy GPS entries: "Fastest way and faster than that."
Some avoid traffic.
Some wake up early and take the backroads. The scenery and stress relief gained is of more value than a shorter time in the car.
I take backroads; I breathe easy. There's more to life than going faster.
Speed is only for adrenaline and adrenaline addiction will kill the quality of your life faster than any other vice.
A life of More, More, More, always leads to a busy empty life full of fast, quick empty experiences full of nothing but increased heartrates set on doing more, faster, quicker, brighter, louder.
Looking Death in the face and laughing results in a laid-back yawn from Death... you're nothing new to him. He'll see you regardless how fast you run.
If you want to impress Death, take your time. Fill it with moments that matter, memories full of feelings.
There's the thrill of scaling a massive mountain, and there's the heartfelt moments of preparation to do so, the relationships made along the way.
Your everyday life isn't so every day when you focus on building your relationships in each day.
Everything in your day is part of the story of your life: tell it well.
There's more to playing a song then playing the next one.
There's more to jumping out of an airplane then jumping out of the next one.
There's more to each day then getting through the day to experience some fun.
Happiness comes from strong relationships with all things.
Not just people; places and things, too.
Choose your relationships well, define them to serve your story and your better self, and have your better day.
