InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
March 4, 2024
The focus for today is:
I use my time in a productive way so that my life feels meaningful.
Today's inspiration was written by Catherine Shainberg:
Our greatest complaint today is that we have no time for anything. No time for our children, our spouses or lovers, no time for our friends and community. No time even for ourselves!
We tell ourselves our “time poverty” is a fact. Well, in fact, it’s not. We have more leisure time than ever before, but do we use it? We live in a world where needs are carrots, fabricated for the sole purpose of tricking the consumer into spending money. And if you want things, you must take the time away from other things, to make the money you need to be able to afford them.
So then is it all simply about learning to control our impulses? If we need less, we’ll need less money, and we’ll have more time for life. But then we must know what we want to do with our lives. If we use time productively—whatever that means to each of us—our life will feel meaningful. If we squander our time, our life will feel empty.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Time, Choice, and Clock Time Addiction

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of living a meaningful life (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: I was in touch with someone the other day who was telling me they did not have, nor ever had, any social media presence. And I replied that I had stopped social media when I realized that it just ate up my time and basically was just a distraction from my living a purposeful life. So, you mighty choose to reflect on your use of time with social media. Are you just "passing" time, or wasting time. Time is finite for us on this earth plane -- 24 hours a day, no more, no less. What are you doing with your 24 hours? Is it something you are proud of? (These questions are deeply worth reflecting upon.)
Our focus for today: I use my time in a productive way so that my life feels meaningful.
