Wasted Energy

Have you ever caught yourself thinking "I wish I could" or "I wish I would have" or "I wish I could go back and ... " ?   Just yesterday I caught myself mentally declaring those very thoughts  ... wishing for something already past, something missed, something I can never regain or attain because that moment is gone. 

Upon further introspection, the truth  that I have experienced many, many moments steeped in that "wishing" thought process arose in my consciousness .. causing me great consternation.  I was thus stimulated to recall this flowery phrase from my youth:

"Shit in one hand, wish in the other and see which one fills up the fastest!"

Though "shit in one hand" does clearly convey a concise message of not wasting time,  I will not attempt making it a catch phrase.  

however ..

I will eradicate the word "wish" from my thinking ..

because

Unlike the positive cleansing result of defecation ..

 "Wishing" is totally wasted energy.

From this writing forward, each and every moment I catch myself "wishing" will be a moment of creativity .. a "redirect" of that precious time so it does not dissipate  on the wings of a wish.

Dear Readers

If what I share in the future pleases you 

Please smile and know ..

It's because I'm "shitting in my hand" ..

not suffering "Wasted Time".

Hopefully .. 

The fruit of my creativity will smell like beautiful flowers.


Yeah, I'm smiling ..
