Rich and meaningful

Why would you be so anxious to jump to the next thing when you’ll then move on just as quickly to the thing after that? Perhaps you could benefit by taking time to pause, focus, consider, savor.

An endless stream of stimulation and information flows your way. You cannot possibly absorb it all.

What you can do, however, is choose to experience and absorb some of it very well. You can prioritize quality and depth over sheer quantity.

Do you worry that you’ll miss something? That worry is useless because even when you’re consumed with it, you’re sure to miss out on plenty.

But it’s not what you miss out on that matters. What enriches your life are the experiences you do have, the things you do know, the actions you do take.

Give each moment, each interaction, each new discovery the time, care, and full attention it deserves. Then, instead of a massive collection of worthless artifacts, you can build an increasingly rich and meaningful life.
