CONFLICTED

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” - E. B. White

Yup, this is sadly my dilemma each day. That is why I am having a difficult time to prioritize stuff that I need to do. This causes me to waste a LOT of time! And I hate it.

Some days I just want to sit back, relax and enjoy my day, with nary a care for trivial things, just going with the flow...

But, after doing that, I get riddled with guilt for doing absolutely nothing but enjoy my day. So, I make it a point to improve the world the next day. Even through small things like being kind to everyone I meet and sharing my blessings. Or even just by cleaning my surroundings or minimizing waste. 

It's also a great idea to enjoy the world and improve it at the same time. Can that be possible? Hmm... I guess it can be done. It just takes a little creativity. One way of doing that is to be mindful of the things I enjoy like writing, reading, eating, drinking tea or even watching movies. If I enjoy writing, then I can write about stuff on how to improve the world, or if I enjoy eating, I can just eat the healthy stuff that is good for my body and is not bad for the environment, like eating organic food or lessening the junk food I eat.

Okay, that's it for now. I think in some way I have helped improve the world by writing about this. I will include topics like this from time to time in my blog. But, please bear with me if ever I write about silly things or stuff that I want to rant about. Hey, I'm nice, but I'm no angel. ;-P

Anyhoo, GTG (got to go, in case you didn't know) for now. I still have some precious hours left to enjoy my day... And I'll start by eating a yummy dinner.  Sadly, I don't think it's organic, but it is healthy!

Tootles! :-)
