at capacity

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Often.

Stopping for snacks is fine, but unnecessary tangents should be avoided.

Also, beware of Energy Vampires and Time Thieves:

They will ruin your peace, guaranteed.

Sweater Weather

What is your favorite type of weather?

Call it Autumn, call it Fall, it doesn’t matter:

Sweater Weather is the best weather. Those few weeks before it gets genuinely grey and cold, when the leaves really start to turn? Perfection.

Hindsight

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

A good education is like a harvest of plenty:

Many hands have to help in the planting. Many moons have to pass in the growing.

And many days are spent taking in the harvest, one life lesson at a time.

It is all a constant, communal effort.

And yet.

You won’t know just how much you needed that harvest until the Winter of Discontent arrives.

For then you see its necessity: The storms may rage, the snows and ice may isolate, but you are not alone and do indeed have plenty.

*taps screen*

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Scroll through feeds and only find extremely boring news. Utterly precedent times. Completely mundane press conferences. Snoozefest interviews.

Switch on the TV and see incredibly sensible people make terribly sane decisions, while shockingly competent people do unbelievably good things.
