What is of value? Your time.

Why is your time important? You only get so much time to do your thing and then no more.

So what is really important is being able to do your thing.

So what is your thing?

My thing seems to be asking impressive sounding questions and then answering them as if only I truly know the right answers to my questions.

But anyone could ask my questions and answer them in multiple ways because the questions are very open ended.

So what is the point of this discussion if what I’m writing could be written in multiple ways?

To get you to think. To get you to examine what you value.

Because I agree with Plato and Socrates “The unexamined life is not worth living

Your turn sort of ;-)

What do you value? Could it be love?

Why is love important? Is it because without love in your life living seems sort of meaningless?

So why is living meaningfully important? A meaningful life gives a person a sense of purpose and value and that what they are doing is worthwhile.

So what is really important is living a life that is worthwhile.

So what makes your life worthwhile? Doing something of value.

So what is important is doing something you value.

How do you know you are doing something of value?
It’s a good use of your time.
You are doing your thing.
Your actions are loving.
You feel a sense of meaning and purpose.
Your life is worthwhile and you are doing something you value.

Now if only I knew for sure my answers are right :-)
