there’s something to be said<\/span><\/strong>
for simply <\/span><\/strong>
doing nothing<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
for spending some time<\/span><\/strong>
with nothing to do<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
no housework<\/span><\/strong>
no laundry<\/span><\/strong>
no reading <\/span><\/strong>
no work<\/span><\/strong>
no computer<\/span><\/strong>
no tv<\/span><\/strong>
no yakkin on the phone with friends<\/span><\/strong>
no nothing<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
what happens <\/span><\/strong>
is you that you can <\/span><\/strong>
develop the ability<\/span><\/strong>
to truly reflect<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
so in my case today<\/span><\/strong>
it’s reflection ….about myself<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
don’t get me wrong<\/span><\/strong>
I’m not an “it’s all about me”<\/span><\/strong>
kinda person<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
but I often wonder <\/span><\/strong>
what it is <\/span><\/strong>
about myself <\/span><\/strong>
that people like<\/span><\/strong>
or don’t<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
is it cos I’m fair<\/span><\/strong>
is it cos I’m witty<\/span><\/strong>
is it cos I’m not a threat <\/span><\/strong>
(contrary to popular belief)<\/span><\/strong>
is it cos I’m funny<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
if I spend time truly reflecting about<\/span><\/strong>
what it is that makes me really feel<\/span><\/strong>
good about myself<\/span><\/strong>
I have to admit <\/span><\/strong>
that mostly <\/span><\/strong>
it’s about my relationships<\/span><\/strong>
with others<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
I love loving my family <\/span><\/strong>
and I love loving my friends<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
sometimes it makes me an easy mark<\/span><\/strong>
but most of the time<\/span><\/strong>
it’s about reciprocity<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
it’s about doing something<\/span><\/strong>
when others <\/span><\/strong>
are doing nothing<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
so I guess<\/span><\/strong>
the art of doing nothing<\/span><\/strong>
has nothing to do with nothing<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
