Finding Worth in Worship, Adventure, and Coffee
Written on
Understanding Our Values
I hope your week has been fulfilling! Today, I would like to share four insights with you as we wrap up this week.
The Essence of Worth
To kick off a new series focused on values, I want to delve into the concept of worth. Since first encountering David Foster Wallace's insight that we all worship something, I've been prompted to reflect on where I derive my sense of worth and how it influences my thoughts, actions, and feelings. This topic is explored in depth in my piece, How We All Worship Something (and Why That’s Important).
What I'm Engaging With
As I prepare to lead a course on leadership, I came across the article Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time in the Harvard Business Review. With a busy January looming, this piece serves as a timely reminder for me to monitor my energy levels—physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual—while ensuring I take the time to replenish them.
My Morning Ritual
There's nothing quite like savoring a cup of coffee on chilly mornings! I've always appreciated quality coffee and have recently adopted the AeroPress method for brewing. After a brisk walk on a frosty day, enjoying a warm cup feels especially gratifying.
Questions for Reflection
This week, I've been pondering ways to infuse more adventure into my life. Embracing adventure aligns with my personal values, yet maintaining an adventurous spirit can be challenging amidst life's demands. I'm excited to consider new possibilities, particularly as travel becomes more accessible again. What about you? What adventure are you hoping to embark on next?
