time management

over the last couple of months, i have been busy and free... work has been inconsistent. that is not a bad thing... but it's given me a lot of insight about how we spend our time.

ask any man on the street what is most important to them... their reply will be family, friends, work and the list goes on... but how often do our replies reflect the way we manage our lives?

if we claim that family is the most important aspect of holistic living, then are we spending enough time at home? are we doing enough at home?

just this week, i got myself into a mess... well, i decided that the mess needs to be cleared up because it involves someone important. how important? important enough for me to set aside an hour to doing something for the person in question.

what about you? i challenge you to take 5% of your daily time to love someone important, be it family, friend or partner... makes a world of difference!

final journey

in case you think i've suddenly turned all dark and depressed... i haven't...

final journey is just the name of my latest play for my students... it's definitely partly inspired by all that has been going on around me... the issue of LOVE...

when is comes to love... which is the greatest form? the love of self? the love of the other half? or the love of your firstborn (in this case, it could be your child, career or just something that you've crafted out of love)?

but one thing is certain... you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving... yes and sometimes, love demands that you give up even your own life... therein lies the contradictions and various schools of thought... how, then, is one capable of loving if he is dead? Is sacrifice really the ultimate act of love? Giving up everything and not holding back... then what about loving yourself?

Ain't life strange?
