Uneasy little steps

“In your actions, don’t procrastinate. In your conversations, don’t confuse. In your thoughts, don’t wander. In your soul, don’t be passive or aggressive. In your life, don’t be all about business.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.51

#Simple is not easy. Just as most things that are worthwhile isn't. I've been there. Done that. If there was an award for procrastinators, the contest would have been tight, seeing as most of us are guilty of this.
Well here you go. I find that doing what I've got to do in the mornings help me to finish them. On your to-do list today, add specific times that you'd prefer. Morning or evening. Your call. Prepare, show up and put in the work and the warm feeling of accomplishment that would wrap around you when you fall into bed would ensure the best sleep.

In your conversations, don't confuse. Being a good communicator takes more than words. You need to know what words to use, when you use them and how. Let's commit to being good communicators and saying what we mean.

There's a time for everything. A time for business and a time for pleasure. Know the difference.

May peace be with you.

It's hard to use the right words since you never know which meaning the hearer will give to it. It's hard in your own language and hard in a foreign language as well. Feelings we all add to words which aren't spoken or meant by the one who spoke them.
