Over the years, my To-Do list has overflowed with things like “clean the garage,” “organize my shoes,” “schedule meeting,” and the like. Very rarely do the to-do tasks motivate me, energize me or cause me to look forward to them with such glee that I can’t sleep at night over the excitement of ‘to-doing.’
But there’s another list that I’ve adopted; it’s called my “To-Be” list. On this list are things such as, “be confident,” “be true to myself,” “be the woman who inspires,” “be happy from the inside out,” and so on.
I would much rather strive to get everything done on my “To-Be” list over a “To-Do” list any day of the week.
This is a good one! I love and look forward to your Monday Mantras.
Thanks so much Haralee! I’m glad you find them useful! 🙂
I should focus on the mantra, but those macaroons look lovely! You always have great visuals on your blog. Thanks for bringing beauty and wisdom into the world.
🙂 Karen…they do look tasty, don’t they?!? And thank you SO much for the compliment. I am to educate and entertain… Have a beautiful day.
I like your “to-be” list better than a “to-do” list!
Glad you enjoyed that mantra, Antionette!
Great ideas. Definitely think a “to be” versus “to do” is the way to go!
Thanks Kathy. Yes, a “to be” is a great idea, and the idea has been around for a while. Thanks for joining the conversation!
