The Shortest Distance

The Shortest Distance

This morning I walked directly from my bedroom to the kitchen, started the heat under the frying pan, put a slice of bread in the toaster, took one egg and one slice of Canadian Bacon from the refrigerator, and cooked my breakfast. Then I ate it. Start to finish? Nine minutes.

Success in life is partly based upon your personal efficiency. For example, if you’re driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, you will likely not travel by way of Seattle because Seattle is out of your way.

All of this is obvious.

I suggest you think deeply about your own personal efficiency, because the more thought you put into how you use your time the more enjoyment you might have time for in life.

I hope I’ve made my point, because I’m being efficient today, so I’m moving on to my next project – having lunch with my son, Craig – something I very much enjoy.

    Why not also make the morning ritual enjoyable? Feel the egg and admire its roundness, the perfection of its shape. Smell the bread. Hopefully, it isn't white but is a rich, multigrain variety and perhaps has a fresh, earthy odor. About the Canadian bacon, I can't comment because I don't like it, but find a way to make all of life enjoyable and not just try to be 'efficient' so you can rush to something else that may or may not be what you expect it to be. And of course, have a wonderful day!
