Stop Measuring and Start Enjoying Your Life

Stop measuring everything around you. What you can measure is nothing that will bring you deep satisfaction and fulfillment. Often in life we spend so much time looking at balance sheets and items on a list we can check off only to realize that these things pale in comparison to the gifts in life that we can not measure. Love, joy, and well-being are the most important indicators of a successful life yet we can not measure these things. How then do we make ourselves realize that their importance is to be placed at the forefront of our lives? Recognize that measuring is just a way that the analyzer can be appeased, and understanding it will not, nor it can not bring us lasting happiness. By all means, do your spreadsheets but don’t let the numbers on the bottom line determine your joy. Know that your life experience is so much bigger than any number can ever measure.
