If anyone can give me Time Management advice, I'll pay you!
With the recent departure of our Director, our Office have taken on several new projects and now it feels like time is disappearing faster than I can make use of it. It kinda slips through the fingers. But its all incredibly exciting.
Still, is this our calling? Each one in his own corner, toiling away. What is ultimately the value added? Sarah and I are contemplating, praying, seeking, for Biblically there is certainly much, much more:
It reminded me of a quote by George Bernard Shaw that always inspires me:
"This is the true joy in life - that being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. That being a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It's a sort of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
