A meaningful day, By Shaked Shalev

A significant and successful day for me is a balanced day in which I invest in the areas of my life:
-Start the day (or end it) with some kind of sport; I like Pilates or walking outside.
-be focused on my goal for that day, whether in college, at work, or at home.
-try very hard to do something special for one of my family members.
-help at least one person with something they need help with.
-learn one new thing, which can be in any field and not necessarily educational.
-do one thing for myself that is important and not for anyone else.
-talk to at least one friend and find out how she is doing.
-And most important, create unforgettable memories with my kids.

I relate to the things Eliot writes. Being significant to another person is very important, but if I was not substantial to another person, it is not considered a wasted day. Sometimes it’s also okay to focus on ourselves and not only on the environment, which is legitimate. Of course, being significant to another person is essential, but to succeed in doing this, we need to be whole within ourselves, and how do we do this without considering ourselves first?
