HOW YOU DO  ANYTHING    IS  HOW YOU DO  EVERYTHING

“Pay    attention   to  what’s  in  front   of  you—the principle,  the task,   or  what’s  being   portrayed.”

—MARCUS AURELIUS,   MEDITATIONS,    8.22

t’s fun to think about the future. It’s easy to ruminate on the past. It’s harder to put that energy into
what’s in front of us right at this moment—especially if it’s something we don’t want to do. We think:
This is just a job; it isn’t who I am. It doesn’t matter. But it does matter. Who knows—it might be the last
thing you ever do. Here lies Dave, buried alive under a mountain of unfinished business.
There is an old saying: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” It’s true. How you handle
today is how you’ll handle every day. How you handle this minute is how you’ll handle every minute.
