We have all had this moment of clarity: You end a conversation with someone, with anyone, and after you “hang up” you think of the things you wish you had said, but they came to you too late. You almost wish they would “call back”…
I just had a very heated and emotional discussion with a person who does not need to be identified here, on a subject that also does not need to be identified here. He was looking for my daughter’s phone number but was very vague about his motives or his identity when pressed.
The statement that I wish I had made was this:
” Do you ever talk to your God about what you do for a living? Do you ever discuss with Him your purpose in life, even for those 8 hours of the day, for that compensation, (What you do for a living, and What is the price of your soul?) and with your time on Earth?”
I am trying very hard NOT to be judgmental here, but I’m asking “Where do you sit and who sits on the throne of your soul?”
Enough said, please accept my apologies if any offense is given, it is not intended. Just food for thought….

When I was experimenting with sleeping patterns, I ran across this sleeping pattern called Polyphasic sleep. You sleep every 4 hours around the clock for 15 minutes. You had to take a nap every 4 hours (which means you frequently took breaks, as suggested in this article), but you manage to only get 1.5 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. I did that for 273 days straight.

Therefore, I must agree that giving your best and taking many breaks, is better than saving your energy to last longer. In my experience it helps you bend the rules of average. Who would have ever thought that a person could live off from 1.5 hours in a 24 hour period for 273 days?

Thank you for the inspiration in sharing my story

Hi Lance and Jack - This is a wonderful article filled with a lot of truth. When we do what we love, it's easier to give it our all. My problem is when I must do something that's not a favorite task, I realize I'm not always doing the best I can. I need to work on that. Barbara Swaffords last blog post..NBOTW - The Happy Thinker
