The butterfly and flower have no confusion about their relationship to each other.
A friend told me a story about a man who had worked a 45 year career at the Boeing Corporation as a mechanic. At his retirement party he was asked “if you could change anything about your work at Boeing what would it be?”
The recently retired man replied, “I would have never worked a single hour of overtime. If I could, in a second, I would give back all the overtime money I earned for more time with my family.”
This is a perfect example of how we get mixed up in defining value for ourselves. This man realized that the extra money wasn’t worth the time that he had to give for it; and the time that it took away from his family.
I grew up in the United States. I am an American Citizen, but I don’t understand many of the choices that the American people make. Does material success add value to our lives? Yes, up to a point, but at what cost.
Money is very expensive.
I would very much like to hear how you define value in your life. Also I would like to hear about how you make time for the things that you value.
I will chime in with some of the things that I consider valuable as I hear from you all.
Thanks for reading.
Big questions to make me pause and think. How do I define value: that which I think is worth my time and energy, challenges me, draws me, gives me joy. How do I make time for the things I value: As best I can! That’s a cop out answer. Let me try again: I prioritize. Not entirely successfully. I also think it sort of happens organically. The things I value I make time for. I choose. I also happen to spend time doing things I don’t particularly value. I guess most of us do. Good reminder to think about this. Thanks!
