Brain Food #741
There will always be more tomorrow
Thoughts of the day
Good morning. A short thought for today to start a new week.
In life, we are long-distance runners. Sometimes we need to do sprints, but all in all, we are running a marathon, one without a clearly defined finish line that will yield glory and trophies. Carrying on is not about giving it your all for the first 100 metres and having no energy to keep going after that, but about acknowledging that the journey is long, ever-changing, perhaps endless, especially since we do not know what the future might hold and what resources it might require.
Whatever we manage to finish today, there will always be more to do tomorrow, but we tend to forget is that what tomorrow brings is also more time. Every day is followed by another, and the end to each day can be marked not by our to-do list, but by our own natural rhythm.
“My day always ends when I’m tired and ready to go home, not when I’m done. I am never done.”
― Andrew S. Grove, former Intel CEO
