All anyone can do in life is react. And through growth and developement our reactions change as do our surroundings. What once was, will never be again. But somehow always seems to be the same situations are arising every day. But not the same...different somehow. So we adapt our reactions to compromise and understand. Today is not "just" another day. It is key in the development of your understanding of all people and things surrounding you. So, that being said. What makes you think that you've been wasting your time today, or any other day for that matter. Maybe today was a chance for you to unpack all your recent experiences and reactions of late. You may not believe you were up to anything productive, but you were. Growth isn't always right there in front of you. It's an ever growing creature inside of you that you only realise once in awhile when thngs are going your way. Moments of clarity are so precious and rare. A fortunate soul can utilise these moments and use them to further thier reaction to whats coming up in thier future.
