Are You Wasting Your Time?

Often the biggest time wasters
are those of us who are efficient with our time.

Ask yourself,
"Am I savoring this moment? Can I celebrate this minute?
Am I present to the privilege and glory
of being present to this hour?"
If we cannot honestly say to ourselves,
"This minute is its own reward,"
then we are wasting this minute.

Often when we focus on the efficient use of our time,
we are not present to each minute as its own reward.
Our life is running us such that
the justification of the minute
lies not in itself, but in some future result
that we hope/intend/expect it to provide to us.
I say that 99 percent of the reason 
for pursuing a goal or a destination
is not the goal or destination itself,
but the value that it adds to the process itself.
If you're not enjoying and savoring the process,
what's it all for, anyway?

Are you present to this moment such that it is its own reward?
If not, experiment with shifting your experience
of this moment so it is rewarding now.

Notice the choice of courage that this takes.
