Who Gets The Lion’s Share?
Manage episode 381453722 series 3439095
In this episode of Navigate the Day, we dive deep into the profound wisdom of Seneca, an ancient philosopher whose words resonate with timeless relevance. We explore a thought-provoking passage from Seneca's "On The Brevity Of Life," where he challenges us to reconsider how we allocate our time and the priority we give to meaningful pursuits.
Seneca's words remind us that it's all too common to relegate pursuits like wisdom, self-improvement, and introspection to the remnants of our lives. He questions the wisdom of reserving only the little time left for these profound endeavors. Is it shameful, he asks, to dedicate only the scraps of our time to the activities that truly enrich our minds and spirits?
Our journal prompt for today encourages us to reflect on how we can reclaim precious time for ourselves and, more importantly, how we intend to use it. We hear a personal journey of carving out mornings for self-care and the power of savoring the simple moments. But we also grapple with the challenge of overindulgence in introspection, which can sometimes lead to isolation and overthinking.
Join us in this episode as we explore the delicate balance between self-reflection and living life to the fullest. Discover how Seneca's wisdom can inspire us to find the lion's share of time for what truly matters.
Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
