Early to bed
Early to rise
Makes a (wo)man healthy, wealthy and wise
Benjamin Franklin
This is exactly what our creator had in mind when they finalised my factory settings!
Few things make me happier than going to bed early + waking up early. It has definitely made me healthier and since good health is our true wealth, I’ll be the first to say thank you for being able to check the “wealth” box too (while I wait for the billions in the bank).
As for being “wise”, I guess being able to recognise what I have in this moment is the real measure of wisdom for me.
Am I wise enough to know that I don’t know?
Am I wise enough to know that every breath is a gift, every second in this body precious?
Am I wise enough to ask for help, change course, learn, stretch, surrender to both pleasure & pain?
Am I wise enough to never call myself wise
And, most importantly,
Am I wise enough to know when a carefully timed double shot of Espresso is required because life is not linear and mine is no boarding school?
I’m learning.
I encourage you to be you, to share you, to celebrate you. Imagine how dull life would be if we all loved our orange juice with salt?
