What is a life well lived? Our lives are often measured linearly in time. Time and attention are our most precious resources. Yet, we don’t spend much time as a society or often individually reflecting on how we use them.
Instead, we focus on their byproducts, our outputs and achievements. We often focus on the positive reinforcements our achievements are given through awards and “congratulations,” from our friends, family, and strangers. Yet, many of us have achieved only to experience the fleeting sense of joy when we arrive at our goal. Then, we look for the next goal post.
We use phrases like “wasting time,” but what does it really mean to waste time? If time is a measurement of you, would you waste your self?
