SEC-S13W5 – While you wait...

I find joy in being here at the outset of this new week, and I extend warm greetings to everyone regardless of the time of day or night in your respective locations. The value of time is universally acknowledged and its effective management is crucial for our overall well-being. Each moment carries potential and the way we utilize our time plays a significant role in shaping our lives.

As we embark on this week, I encourage us all to reflect on the importance of time management. It's a resource that, once spent, cannot be reclaimed. Therefore, being mindful of how we invest our time is essential for personal growth, productivity and achieving our goals.

Do you consider that all time should be productive?

I think finding the balance between productivity and meditation is essential in my daily life. As an individual I feel the need to complete tasks and achieve my goals which requires a certain amount of productivity. However, I am also aware that meditation plays a crucial role in maintaining my mental well-being.

I realize that constant productivity can lead to stress and fatigue which can negatively impact my mental and physical health. This is where meditation comes in for me. By taking the time to meditate regularly I can release accumulated tensions, calm my mind and find inner balance.

Meditation allows me to step back from the pressures of daily life. It offers me a space to refocus on myself become aware of my thoughts and emotions and cultivate a more calm and reflective attitude. This creates a balance that allows me to be more productive when engaging in my activities while maintaining my mental health.

What do you think of John Lennon's phrase: "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"?

For me, John Lennon's quote "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans" resonates deeply. I realize that often I get so caught up in planning for the future, achieving goals, and completing projects that I can lose sight of the present moment.

By immersing myself too much in my future aspirations I risk missing out on the small joys and experiences of everyday life. I realize that life does not only take place in the realization of big projects but also in simple moments, spontaneous interactions and moments of daily happiness.

This quote reminds me of the importance of finding a balance between ambition and presence. Of course, it is essential to plan and work towards a better future but I do not want to sacrifice the richness of present life for the sake of future productivity. By focusing too much on future projects I risk missing the beauty of the present moment.

Thus, I realize the importance of slowing down, practicing mindfulness and savoring each stage of my life. This doesn't mean abandoning my plans but rather approaching them with a balanced perspective ensuring I stay connected to the present and appreciate the little wonders of life that unfold as I build my future.

What do you do in everyday situations where you have to wait, a traffic jam, electricity and/or internet interruptions, etc?

As for me, I am a person with great patience particularly in everyday situations that require waiting whether in a traffic jam, power or internet outages and many more. other similar scenarios. My deep belief lies in the fact that losing my nerve in such circumstances would not change anything in the situation other than adding stress to an already delicate moment.

I believe that patience becomes a strength in these moments. Rather than succumbing to frustration, I adopt a calm and thoughtful attitude. This approach not only allows me to maintain a more serene atmosphere for myself but it also positively influences those around me. By maintaining my calm, I often find constructive ways to deal with the situation whether by taking an alternate route during a traffic jam or finding alternative activities during a power outage.

Additionally, I believe that patience in waiting is an investment in my own peace of mind. This allows me to stay focused on more positive aspects of life rather than getting carried away by negative emotions. Thus, my patience becomes a kind of shield against unnecessary stress allowing me to navigate through daily inconveniences with a more serene and balanced state of mind.

Have you decided to have an attitude towards life while you wait, or do you only think about goals to achieve?

Personally, I am a very ambitious person constantly looking for new challenges and determined to achieve significant goals. However, this ambition does not prevent me from having a realistic perspective on life and inevitably recognizing its end. I am aware that death is inevitable and this reality pushes me to seek to leave a positive and lasting imprint during my time on this earth.

I consider that every action I take, every goal I pursue, contributes to shaping the legacy I leave behind me. This motivates me to choose projects and actions that have a positive impact on others and the world around me. I want my presence here to have meaning and to leave something beneficial for future generations.

This awareness of the finitude of life strengthens my desire to live authentically and aligned with my values. I strive to create meaningful relationships bring about positive change and contribute constructively to society. Every day, I am driven by the thought that, even if my life is fleeting, the actions I take can have a lasting impact.

Thus, my quest for ambition is accompanied by a deeper intention to leave behind something beyond my own existence something that can inspire and benefit others even after I am gone. It is a way for me to give meaning to my life by recognizing the reality of death while seeking to transcend it with a positive and meaningful legacy.
