Throw Away Your To-Do List. This Is What You Need Now

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is smarter than your to-do list. Life is smarter than your to-do list because no one can predict what is going to happen next. No one can do that. Can you predict what is going to happen next?

You know where you are right now. You know what you are doing right now. But do you know what is going to happen next? Do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?

Do you know what is going to happen to your fancy to-do list, to your future?

It is okay to plan, to have a to-do list, but do not be consumed by it. Yes, do not let your to-do list take charge of your life.

If you want to live your life, your real life, this is what you need to have with you every day. You need a To-Live list. Stop postponing your life.

You are not going to be here forever. You are not going to be where you are forever. Stop delaying your life. Stop stealing from your own future.

Remember that time is not going to slow down because you are not living your life. Time is not going to wait for you because you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. Time is not going to wait for you because you are busy doing your to-do list.

If you want to live a better life, if you want to breathe a new life into your life, you need to balance your to-do list. If you can’t balance your to-do list, then throw it away. And replace it with a To-Live list. Will you do it?
