Is it worth it?

San Antonio airport
San Antonio airport two days ago. What’s the ROI of doing “invisible work”?

 

It’s weird.

What?

Starting every day on my knees.

No one knows.

It’s such a private and seemingly insignificant thing.

But the compound interest of doing it every day for nearly two decades…

Worth it.

But how does one measure the ROI (return on investment)?

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning

Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning, on my knees.

Mornings are busy times for most of us.

It doesn’t take long, and it’s tempting to stop the 18-year daily routine.

In a way, flossing is the same way. It doesn’t take that long, but as one of the last things i do before sleeping, it would be easier to not do it, or at least not do it daily.

When’s your morning prayer anniversary?

Bicycle lock
Yesterday at Golds Gym. Worked out for an hour and returned to find bike unlocked. Good karma.

 

When’s your morning prayer anniversary?

What?

The month and year you began starting every day on your knees in prayer.

When was that?

April 2000.

Most stress comes from being reactive rather than proactive

heart health tip
We are grateful for being intentional about being proactive.

 

We added saying one thing we’re grateful for after our dinner prayer.

Most stress comes from being reactive rather than proactive.

Comparing ourselves and our situation also insidiously contributes.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
