I don’t want more hours in the day

Filed in The Reverie  /  December 2, 2024 /

You can’t give your life more time.

So give your time more life.

It’s easy to get caught up in the pressure of trying to “have it all” or “do it all,” especially when we measure success in terms of what we can accomplish within a certain period.

But the truth is, we only have enough time, one life, to radically express ourselves. To take shape in this world, and understand our place in it. To fill the hours we do have with purpose, joy, and connection.

Instead of focusing on what you have or haven’t done, think about how you want to feel at the end of it.

Do you want to feel accomplished? Yes.

But do you also want to feel fulfilled, rested, and in alignment with your own desires and goals?

Giving life to the finite time we have means leaning fully into what matters most to us, not just what seems most urgent or productive.

As my Black Friday sale on brand strategy resources comes to a close tonight (sorry), I’m choosing to focus on how I’ve felt throughout it.

Did I pour my heart into the resources featured in it? 100%.

Did I wait till the last minute to share about it? Yeah. 

Was it a wild success? Not by most standards.

But did I feel so incredibly confident in what I was putting out into the world, prioritize rest, spend moments belly laughing on the floor with family and friends, and have a couple wonderful people reach out about how kick ass the brand strategy resources on sale were? 

Heck. Yes.

These days, I’m measuring success by my own standards and really leaning into filling my time with as much life as possible instead of wishing for more hours in the day.

I hope you’re doing the same.

Craving more?
