TRADE OFFS

Tidal Basin, Washington DC

… If you’ve found a way to make a living, the challenge in making a life is to find the guts to think about the size of your work container.  That’s not easy.  It comes with tradeoffs.  We don’t always succeed. 

Seth Godin’s Daily Blog (3/30/24) partial selectio

REFLECTION:

  • Does your work occupy a disproportionate amount of your time?
  • Can you rightsize your work container?
  • What tradeoffs are you willing to make to have a more balanced life?

RISING

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Confucius

REFLECTION:

  • Have you or are you currently trying to avoid falling?
  • When have you had to pick yourself up having fallen?
  • Is there a situation you are facing that requires you to rise up?
  • What step do you need to take?

SPREADING LIGHT

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. 

Quote by Edith Wharton, “Vesalius in Zante,” 1902

REFLECTION:

  • Do you tend to be a candle or a mirror?
  • Sometimes you need to be the one to help reflect the light.
  • Sometimes you need to be a candle…yet, to give off light you may need help to light the wick… 
  • Do you know when to be a candle and when to be the mirror?
