I recently asked the title question to a friend of mine. The conversation was framed around why we choose to do things that aren’t aligned with our truth.
Why are we staying in situations that we know are wrong? After too much effort, why are we wasting our time trying to get someone to change their ways? Why are we not looking for an alternative to the job that is dragging us down?
You don’t know how many summers you have left, let alone days…. This year, I want to spend my days doing what I love:
- Loving on my family
- Reading
- Walking
- Mountain biking
- Hiking that mountain
- Discovering new things
No unaligned distraction is worth pulling me away from the best things in my short life.
