I love gardening, and a friend asked me what kinds of things she should plant at her new house.
“It depends on how much time you want to devote to a garden,” I told her. “I love my flowers, but they are a lot of work. If you don’t enjoy the process, it won’t happen.”
And I listened to myself say these words and contemplated how that’s true about a lot of things.
I’ve been asked several times for advice about starting a blog. “Don’t bother if you don’t love writing,” I tell them. This doesn’t mean that writing isn’t a discipline. There are plenty of times that I have to pick myself up by the scruff of the neck and force my fingers to start moving. But I want to write. I am motivated to do it. So I find the time.
We can complain that there’s never enough time, but the truth is that we find time for what is most important to us.
