I’m not entirely sure why we all race so fast to make sure there’s nothing on our plate.
We throw ourselves at tiny tasks to complete them and remove them.
The goal isn’t to enjoy the work, the goal is to have no more work to do.
But when have we ever been satisfied with an empty plate – metaphorically or literally?
Empty plates are boring.
It’s much better to have too much on your plate because then you can share and feel full(filled) and you can have purpose and make a difference.
By all means, keep doing things that remove what’s on your plate, but please don’t stop adding more of what matters on.
Progress is defined by both how much we take off and put on.
Stay Positive & Another Serving Then, Yea?
