Dolce far niente
The sweetness of doing nothing
Today is about how it's important it is to do nothing. We spend a lot of time doing things, working hard, being busy with a check list in the belief that getting these things done will make our life easier, more relaxed or fulfilled but. . . if that rob us of precious time, energy and will, how is our life better? Sometimes the best thing is to do nothing and enjoy being present.
"Leisure is not idleness. It is not even a luxury. It is a necessity, and a necessity of the first importance. Some of the most valuable work done in the world has been done at leisure, and never paid for in cash or kind. Leisure does what it likes: labor does what it must.” George Bernard Shaw
Go ahead and do what you really love to do! Do nothing else. You have so little time. How can you think of wasting a moment doing something for a living you don’t like to do? What kind of a living is that? That is not living, that is a dying. If you say, “But, but. . .” I will answer: If you insist that your life is about what your body is doing, you do not understand why you came here. At least do something that pleases you-that speaks of Who You Are. -Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsh
