If you suddenly found yourself with enough money so you no longer had to work, what would you do with your time? When I ask that question to a variety of people, most answers are not exotic. People say they would do more of the following:

  • Read

  • Write

  • Hike

  • Camp

  • Spend time outdoors

  • Work in the garden

  • Exercise

  • Spend time with friends

I’ve yet to hear anyone say they would:

  • Eat more

  • Watch more television

  • Surf the internet more

The question is great because the answers remind me that most things we want for ourselves are simple activities we can do now. Yet so many defer them until they “have enough money” or “have more time,” waiting for a future that may never come.

What do you dream of doing one day? How can you do it now instead of waiting?
