Without money, our minds struggle with the fears of tomorrow.
Without time, we focus on doing only what we have to.
Without energy, every additional straw feels like the last one.
Without love and companionship, we are isolated and cold.
Without space, we cannot think and grow.
Yet if we wait to have what we don’t have, we’ll never get it.
If we continue to squander what we do have, we’ll never have enough.
Changing is the easiest thing in the world to do,
and the hardest thing in the world to do.
It’s the easiest because it’s impossible not to do.
It’s the hardest because it’s the task we will never finish.
What will make the biggest difference to your well-being?
If you looked outside of yourself, you looked in the wrong direction.
It will come when you reclaim the presents of each day.
Brilliant. Thanks, Charlie. Great words to read on a Friday.

Love the poetry feel to this post. The biggest internal change I’ve made within myself is the “Yes, and” technique. This is learning to say yes and building upon my present idea. I used to shoot down lots of my ideas before they got off the ground. Now I keep working with them and flushing out the beauty. It takes more of my time, but my blog posts and over all creativity are much deeper.

Wow. That’s awesome. I especially like this part:
Changing is the easiest thing in the world to do,
and the hardest thing in the world to do.
It’s the easiest because it’s impossible not to do.
It’s the hardest because it’s the task we will never finish.
…because it’s just so true.
Malcolms last blog post..Packaging Deposit – because bottles and cans aren’t enough
@Christy: Glad it hit at the right time.
@PositivelyPresent: Being prone to pontificate, it’s always nice to see that occasionally short posts can cause as much, if not more, thought than longer ones.
@Dawn: Thanks! This is your first comment here, no?
@Karl: The yes technique is powerful, indeed. Another one: allowing yourself to see what you do before you decide what you do with it. Both come to the same point – live in possibilities rather than impossibilities, and you’ll find yourself able to do things you never thought possible.
@Mynde: Thanks for acknowledging that and giving me a space to play with my writing. It helps – but you already knew that, didn’t you, Ms. Mayfield?
@Malcolm: I had a hard time with that paragraph, actually. It didn’t quite fit, but it yelled to be included. Sometimes you just gotta keep the groove going. I’m glad you liked it.
This is a really wonderful post… Life is all about knowing your priorities and aligning your actions according to them. Then we will always have enough of all that we want, be it money, love
