February: On Life

February 1

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Seneca's essay "On the Shortness of Life."

"Life is short." How many times have you heard others say that? How many times have you said it?

But is it really? Or is it just the right amount of time for a human to grow and learn and laugh and love?

Today we explore the idea that life is long enough, but the fact that we waste so much of it is what makes it feel short. 

Consider it--where are you wasting time in your life?

• Reflection title: Put Your Passivity Aside
• Creative inspiration: Seneca, "On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It"
• Reflection Question: What habits or impulses are wasting my time? What can I replace them with that will add value?
