I saw this quote in a recent book I read. While the topic was nowhere near parenting that is the first place my mind jumped for application. I am sharing it with you to spend some time pondering. What actionable steps and priority shifts does this bring to your mind? How may it play into what you say “yes” to personally and as a family?
“Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!”
