Spend Every Day Well

✍Big goals and achievements are important. They often demand long-term effort, planning, perseverance, persistence. However, finding joy in everyday life is equally important. Sometimes, it’s even more challenging.

The scale in our minds shouldn’t compare daily joy to our long-term goals. Instead, it should measure the ease with which we discover joy each day in small things done with love. We are still maintaining focus on long-term aspirations. These tiny goals we set for ourselves prepare us for the bigger ones ahead.

Let’s not drown in the gloom of not reaching our larger goals quickly. Let us not wait to feel joy only in the dazzling light they promise. Wake up, make your bed, then brew your coffee. Savor every sip of the tea or coffee you lovingly prepared.

Find joy and comfort in a five-minute conversation with your family, whether on the phone or in person.

Moments that bring us down will continue to show up throughout our lives. The goal is to stay uplifted and not let those passing clouds overshadow the light of joy we carry in our hearts.

Hello, World... Design your life!
