407: 3 Minute Thought – Are Your Days Bringing Your Joy?
Are Your Days Bringing Your Joy?
“Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.” Joseph Campbell
A take away from Steve Jobs Stanford University Commencement Speech.
Every morning he woke up he would look in the mirror and ask himself. “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
A great practice for all of us. We should ask ourselves, “Are my days bringing me joy?” If the answer is NO what could I change to make things better. A small adjustment or a big leap – it doesn’t matter. Anything that helps change the “no” to this question to a “yes” is a win.
