“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
—Howard Thurman
In a world that demands more and more of your time, attention, and energy, it can be hard to find the “thing” that makes you tick. Simply put, you need to make the time to invest in hobbies, outlets, quality time with friends and family, and other creative or refreshing activities. As mentioned last week, these hobbies should help build you up so that you can help build others up.
Our ‘on the go’ culture has made it so that taking time for yourself seems selfish, but it is in fact the opposite that’s true—not taking time for yourself will negatively impact everyone around you. Finding a community that supports you and your passions is not only critical for your well-being; it will provide you accountability buddies that ensure you keep looking out for yourself as much as you look out for your tribe too.
