What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?


“Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.” 
(Aesop)
 

For the second time in a month, Jonathan left the house before work on Monday with his wife’s phone sitting on the kitchen table. He obviously knew better for his own phone would precisely be placed in the familiar kitchen basket every night before he went to bed. Instead he just took off that day in “grab and go” fashion.

So why then did this mistake happen ? Very simply, Jonathan had overbooked his schedule which clouded his mind with such “back to back” time events he needed to accomplish ahead that day.

So it seems that one small improvement that Jonathan could make in his busy life might require him to slow down and just concentrate more mindfully on each present moment of his life. In doing so, his speedy performing phone itself packed with emails, texts, and daily appointments would not solve the problem. Skip the morning caffeine as well.
