“Wherever you are be all there.” Jim Elliot

It’s a waste of your own time when you are in places and spaces in body but absent in mind. It means your time spent in those places is unproductive and wasted.
Friends, never feel forced to be in a place where you don’t want to be and learn to dismiss yourself from what does not make sense to you so that you don’t waste your limited time on earth. If you are going to do anything and be anywhere, be all present. Be there fully in spirit, mind, personality and in body. Always be you and learn to give yourself totally to all your engagements. Show up 100%. Make sure you are fully aware of the moment you are in. Contribute fully and grab every opportunity available in that moment.
If you can’t be fully present in a relationship, a job or business, then know this: Firstly, you are truly wasting your own time there, secondly your involvement there is mediocre (Meaning that you are also wasting other people’s time and resources by not contributing fully where you are suppose to be contributing) and thirdly, you will probably keep feeling miserable as long as you are there.
So my advice today is move out of there and find yourself in places and spaces where you can be fully present.
