In the meantime … just three words.
Yet, “in the meantime” holds a very important message.
We often focus so much on the outcomes of our goals – like the next promotion, the bigger house, the larger bank account – that we forget about the most important part of our lives … the part that we actually live. In fact, it’s not a part – it’s our whole life. It’s the journey we take.
“In the meantime” is about the journey.
It’s about the OTHER actions we take every day. The behaviors that create joy for ourselves, friends and family. It’s those “in the meantime” actions that contribute substantially to who we are.
Action – Create an “In The Meantime” list by writing out all the little habits, hobbies, and celebrations you want to keep in mind. Each day, choose one thing from the list and make it a priority alongside your bigger goals.
Nancy, great! I could not agree more, we spend so much time focusing on work goals and find ourselves either detached or disconnected from our family and friends!
In other words . . . right now. In the meantime is where our life happens and so important – it’s what keeps us present.
This is si true!
