Business
Today I got to spend some time with my wife Cayla and my son Konrad. We went on a "DMV" adventure. We spent more time than we would have liked waiting for things to get done, but most importantly we got to spend quality family time together.
As I am experiencing this new life coming into this world that is completely alien to him, I am beginning to notice that exposing him to new things and new experiences that seem boring to me are insane to him. Exposure is everything. It is a basic piece of what human nature is and is more commonly known as nurture. The idea of nature vs nurture comes down to internal vs external. The physical vs the spiritual.
As I am thinking about the idea of nature vs nurture I notice that those two things need to be in balance. By getting out and giving yourself physical experiences you will be happier, however if you never work on your spiritual self you will feel out of place and out of energy in those physical experiences.
In the modern day, so often we are absorbed by the physical world, we spend more time on the phone than with our family. More time watching tv than out in nature and more time distracting ourselves than focusing our energies. This brings me back to the idea of more. We spend more and yet more is not acquirable. So that means we are actively going into debt with ourselves. We are actively draining a bank account that we never should have had access to in the first place. This means rather than asking you to spend more time outside, spend more time with your family, I just want to ask you to begin focusing on spending time with your family, spending time outdoors and spending time developing yourself.
Life is so finite and to keep juggling what you should be doing is unsustainable. With the time you have here on this earth my hope for you is to look back at your life and know that you lived it to the fullest, that you spent your time on what mattered most to you. Because that is all we have, once the bank account of time is spent, there is no buying it back. So get out there and buy what makes your heart jump with joy.
