Today I watched Chip Conley speaking about measuring what makes life worthwhile on the Ted Conference, www.ted.com
And it has me pondering…
How do we count a good life?
What do we use as ruler?
What do you put in the plus column and what is dumped in the minus?
Does your life ledger hold more assets or liabilities?
My worthwhile column holds so many items too many to count, it is simply overflowing.
What I am finding is that even my minuses make it to the plus column, for they deliver me lessons which turn out to be great gifts in learning how to live a better life.
Measuring life by how I feel, how alive and inspired, how connected and aware I am, are my greatest measurement for worthwhile ness.
Each day is a new page in the ledger book of Life.
We move about our days adding and subtracting from each column.
Saying yes or no is how we move about this page, what we spend our time doing, how we engage in the world, who we interact with, where we go and what we do.
We are the pencil and the one who keeps the tally, the scorekeeper of our lives.
We place the value on things; we decide into which column our life moments will go.
It is finding the silver lining in the clouds of life that keep us from chalking off minuses.
As keepers of our ledgers, we are keepers of our lives!
