Money Can’t Buy Time
I literally was just the worst fucking human tonight
Had a LONG day
A deep 121 consulting day with a crazy smart entrepreneur….
3 hour hot seats in EWD…
Making sure I trained, did all my content, replied to messages…
Finally got time to speak to the family (I’m totally fucked by this point) – was a very quick one to say thanks for the mug the sent me
Anna wanted to say hi
You know what I did?
Said I was too tired
(She does find conversations hard and it takes effort)
Said goodnight and went to go to bed
All she wants is to speak to her brother, Ive given (by choice) 16+ hours to everyone else and my sister wanted 5 minutes of my time and I was too tired
I sat down and realised what a selfish fuck I was
It’s easy to get wrapped up in calls, emails, social media, doing the work
And forget what’s important
Why we do the things we do
And so often our friends, family, loved ones – they bear the brunt of our desires and dreams
I learned the hard way that you can give people all the things and money and stuff
But often what people want is your time
A chat with me – for her – makes her day
And even though what I’m doing now is to prepare for her future
All she wanted was ten mins with her big bro
Which is what she got
🙂
(A tired, pacing around the balcony, trying to stay awake big bro who is doing this post from an Epsom salt bath as he’s fucked – but she got the last of my reserves!)
Don’t forget to take time for the special people in your world
I’ve found that all the dumb shit, arguments, social nonsense – whatever – doesn’t mean fuck all then you get down to it
There’s very few peeps you should give your all too; and often we forget who they are sometimes
Tonight was a good reminder
Life is made up of moments, and moments with the right people money simply can’t buy
Night CWD
PS hope you don’t think I’m a cock for sharing this; I still do dumb shit
Still human
Very easy to fuck this shit up hence wanted to share
