31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 15 : "Remain"


Flower Lapghan.  Crochet

Mark 12:31 - (KJV) "...Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

 

One definition of remain is, "stay in the place that one has been occupying."  I don't care for that.  My move to Colorado was to break from remaining the same.

Another definition?  "continue to possess a particular quality or fulfill a particular role."  That's a little better, but it still sounds like being set in one's ways and inflexible.

Anything else? "In mathematics, the remainder is the amount 'left over' after performing some computation."  Ugh!  No.  This defines too much of how I've lived my life.  I do the computations and give out with little to no remainder for myself. 

I'm listening to Dan Miller's 48 Days to the Work You Love podcast.  His subject was on investing in oneself.  He made the statement that "one serves better with a full cup."  That doesn't sound like living off the remainder to me.  It's sounds like making myself even more able to serve well.

  1. I agree with investing in oneself, this leads to even better results. I'm doing the same thing with my writing, just working to get better. I hope to monetize as some point, but not yet. #74 visiting from FMF.
