I’m a little behind on my For Whom the Bell Tolls post, so this is a filler until I stop procrastinating. This quote is from Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech (a book that I found to be a welcome surprise). You can read about my thoughts on it here.
I love this quote because we do seem to spend a lot of our time on things that are really not that important. Instead, if we can remember to spend even just a little time on the things that really matter, I believe we will be happier. I have looked back on lost opportunities with regret. We can avoid that little twinge of sadness by making time for the most important parts of life.
Spending time with our loved ones, developing a skill, learning something new, enjoying nature, improving our mind or body, and becoming a more developed person are all things we will never regret.
Life gets busy quickly, and it’s important to have downtime too. But we should also value the things that matter the most and find time for them above all.
