Get Busy Living

Do you enjoy the movie The Shawshank Redemption?

There are some movies that whenever they show up when scrolling through the channels, I always stop and watch. The Shawshank Redemption is one of those for me and one of my personal favorite movies - ever. The film contains memorable lines and serves as a spectacular story about the power of friendship and even the importance of integrity, resilience, and hope.

If you have not seen it, I recommend adding to your watch list. 👍

One of my favorite lines from the movie is, "get busy living or get busy dying."

I see this as a call to action, to actively embrace life with purpose and intention, rather than passively going through the motions or avoiding growth.

It means making deliberate choices that align with my values and goals and seizing opportunities for fulfillment and growth.

This applies to the day-to-day as well as the long-term.

It especially applies today on #WorldValuesDay (Thursday, 17th October 2024).

I yearn for all of us to get busy living, to put our values into action.

My top values include family, health, connection, integrity, and kindness.

What choices or actions align with my values?

👉 Investing in meaningful relationships by connecting with friends regularly and being present with family

👉 Prioritizing my health by committing to a regular fitness routine, eating a healthy diet, and dedicating time to mental well-being

👉 Deciding to shift my career path to align with my true interests, even though it feels risky and uncomfortable

👉 Pursuing a hobby (see my Thought from last Thursday) that brings me fun and joy

What are your top values?

What choices do you make that align with your values?

My invitation to you is to get busy living.

Choose to embody a proactive, intentional approach to living.

Create your life.
