The way we spend our days is how we spend our lives…

The way we spend our days is how we spend our lives…. 

What a thought. 

I came across this quote while mindlessly scrolling facebook (there is an irony there…) and it gave me a bit of a jolt. 

How do I spend my days, and if I add them all up, is this how I want my life to look?

When I look at the average week of Matt Jones, does it align with what I tell myself about myself and does it relate to what I tell the world? 

What will it all add up to?

It only took me a moment to realise that there might need to be some change and an evaluation might be in order. 

Has some of the adventure, the spice, the action gone? 

Does my routine look like it has become a bit… routine. 

Would my surfboard know what water feels like…? What about my water fitness?  

And what about those other two things that take up MOST of our time. 

Sleep and work…. 

Is my sleep as good as it could be? If that is what I am doing, surely it should be done well! 

And work. My mission. Where so many hours a week go. Is it meaningful, and am I applying myself? Am I missioning like a man on a mission? 

Take a look at your day today, and ask yourself ‘is this how I want my life to look’. 

We are so fortunate to have so much choice in the way that we work and I think every now and again it is great to be thankful for that and see if we can adjust things in a way that makes our days more meaningful and satisfying and by doing so find a little more fullness in life.
