Two Key Questions, part 4

Lastly in this series, the words of Joshua Becker —

As we consider the scope of just these two questions, we begin to see why they are both essential to daily reflection. Reaching our fullest potential, but for all the wrong reasons, leads to a life filled with regret. On the other hand, having the right desires, but not working hard toward them, doesn’t result in a fulfilled life either. 

On the plus side, these questions can be incredibly helpful in finding contentment. If I spent my day, to the best of my ability, pursuing all the right things, it matters less that someone else acquired more money or fame or possessions. I lived my best day, focused on what matters, and there is joy to be found in that realization. 

I encourage you today, when you lay down in bed, to reflect on those questions: Did I live to my fullest potential today? And did I live with the right motives today?

If you answered yes—rest well. Tomorrow is an opportunity to do it all again.

If you answered no, reflect on what can change tomorrow, and then—rest well. Tomorrow is an opportunity to do it all over.
