Here’s a different angle on making good use of your time that will get you thinking…

“Harlem Elvis”

  1. Great thought. Thanks, Evan! Dovetails with my recent thoughts that my hubby and I watch too much TV. Thinking we were wasting time, I was determined to change our ways until I realized that we actually use the time to rest – my husband often sleeping through shows. So we have changed the quality and nature of the shows we watch – nature, building, history, dancing, historical fiction. Still a restful time but guess who isn’t sleeping as much?

  2. Tracking time becomes a challenge, focusing good thoughts tends to accomplish your daily needs.

  3. Elvis doesn’t say how he begins each day . I think we have to begin with what we understand and how that adds to our life. If he knows nothing else, he is listening to that small voice and recognizes that there is good in his life. Somehow we know the good is there and we just need to look out for it. Blessings to all and Elvis. Thank you Evan.

  4. Absolutely “thought stirring” as Sabrina said.

    And conversely, MBE said “rushing around smartly isn’t proof of accomplishing much”. So careful use of time might be the best goal.

    Thanks for sharing this – and every day!

  5. Great comments everyone! It also occurred to me that although the video indicates his life may not have been a bed of roses, Elvis doesn’t seem to waste any of his daily seconds lamenting the bad things that he has experienced. I find many people waste a lot of time each day ruminating over past hurts or bad experiences. Elvis, on the other hand, seems to focus on the positive…and that attitude has no doubt paid dividends for him.

  6. My goal here then is to clarify the uselessness of metaphysics, and then transition from empiricism
    (as a counter to moral rationalism), and move more directly into skepticism.
    It is for this reason that we will consider it separately, apart from the general view of religion,
    giving it a category of its own. Those facing North bear
    the Abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while those in the East show the Bhumisparsha
    (earth-touching) gesture.
