One thing you can not get back is time. Time and energy are most valuable, so why waste them?
There are a lot of people who waste their time on a daily basis. Waste their time scrolling online, with people who are not for them and legions of other habits. The question is why?
Well, unfortunately most people have to learn to be at peace with themselves and their own company. I remember the days when I avoided my own company in a myriad of distractions. As Buddhist, Pema Chodron wisely teaches our distractions lead to our karmas. I know for a fact, I hurt people in the past who I only entertained their company for my own selfish gains. Nowadays, I’m wiser and choose not to distract myself in the company of others.
Bottomline, I sooner you learn to honour yourself and your time, the less likely you will needlessly waste it. Time is valuable, I suggest spending it with those you love, doing the things you love.
