You ever hear of Dean Briggs? I didn’t, until recently. Great quote by him, reminding us that it is not our leisure that brings us satisfaction and happiness, but our work. People who don’t work confound me. How much free time do you need? How do you achieve fulfillment, contentment? What do you do with all of that empty space in your heart?
(Netflix has entered the chat)
I’m not judging, or casting aspersions, I’ve just never understood it. And I don’t refer to sectegenarians or octogenarians who have earned rest and leisure, I’m talking about the able-bodied and energetic. Too much leisure time leaves you too much time to get in trouble, if you ask me.
Ah, the irony.
Dean:
Do your work.
Not just your work,
Do a little more.
But that little is worth more
Than all the rest.
And if you suffer,
As you must,
And if you doubt,
As you must,
Do your work.
Put your heart into it,
And the sky will clear.
Then out of your doubt and suffering
Will be born the supreme joy
Of life.
-Dean Briggs
