Any activity or job is selling/trading your time. Its important to reevaluate where you get your energy or move toward your goals.
Yes! I love this framing of trading time. It's our most precious asset and choosing to take part in activity, or not, is our way of spending this asset. There's a reason we call it "spending time." So be intentional about how you spend it.
The phrase ‘don’t be a quitter’ was one your grandpa Maury used to say. What a special gift you are relaying to your son to teach and model for him that he can be true to his passions, to what he likes OR dislikes. Such a healthy growing up message! ❤️
