Something good to do

If you have nothing to do, you have nothing. Fortunately you can always give yourself something good to do.

You can make it interesting, meaningful, challenging, profitable, engaging. It’s up to you, and the possibilities are unbounded.

Often there’s much you need to do, and probably there’s much you’d like to do. Beyond that, you can get creative and explore life in dimensions you may have never imagined before.

Is your expectation to sit and be entertained with no thought or effort on your part? That may suffice for a short time but it’s certainly not going to provide any deep, lasting sense of satisfaction.

You deserve a life that’s rich, a life with days, months, and years that are full. And you are the person primarily responsible for doing the filling.

Fill your time with activities worthy of the unique, creative, caring person you are. Give yourself something good to do.

— Ralph Marston
