Where Will You Put Effort?

The Reality That Underlies The Question

Where will you put effort?

We have so many choices available to us.

The ability to pick paths...

Or not pick paths.

The ability to pick things that benefit us...

Or that are detrimental to us.

The ability to choose that which will provide value...

Or that which is worthless.

The ability to pursue difficult things...

Or to sit back.

All of these and more sit before us at any given moment.

But the real question is...

Where will you put effort?

No matter what paths you end up taking along the way...

They all require some sort of effort.

You will need to put effort into something.

But there is a reality that we must face that underlies the question...

And reality...

Is that we are all limited on the number of things into which we can put effort.

We are limited on...

Resources.

Energy.

Time.

Within these limitations...

We do not really know completely how limited we are.

We like to believe that we will always have more in the future...

More resources...

More energy...

More time...

But what most people discover...

Is that they run out of all of these...

Far sooner than they imagined.

They end up looking back at everything they decided to put effort into...

And regret it.

They see what they put their effort into...

And all the places they could have put their effort into instead...

Then they long for everything that could have been...

But it is too late.

As you think about where you will put effort...

Remember...

There will be a day...

There will be a time...

Sooner than you may expect...

Where you will realize that the end is at hand.

When that time comes...

Will it all have been worth it?

Will you look at where you put effort with gratitude...

Or regret?
