Remember the first principles in Econ 101? The scarcity of resources and opportunity cost?

Today I’m thinking about these concepts in relation to the scarcity of my time and the opportunity cost of wasting the time I’ve been given on a range of emotional options that include, but aren’t limited to, fear, negativity, bitterness, or resentment. Life is too short.

What joy do I bypass, what time do I lose, when I choose to camp out in that space? Sure, tough things come my way, and I’m not looking to numb out emotionally. I’m just saying that the sooner I can catch my self in a tailspin and remember that I have choices, I think the happier I’ll be.

As Sweet Brown would say, “ain’t nobody got time for that.”
