"When you are born, you cry and the world rejoices. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."
And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, ‘Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.’
Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You (via bfastwithtiffany)
Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.
I’m not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance.
