Journal Writing Prompt: Life
“My life is like a single coin. I can spend it any way I want…but I can only spend it once.”
~Robert Boardman
I encourage you to consider what Mr. Boardman is saying in today’s journal writing prompt. This holds true for all of us. Actually, when I read this quote earlier, I immediately printed it out on a beautiful handmade paper, matted and framed it, and put it next to my desk.
After you have spent some time thinking about today’s quote, write in your journal about how you have been spending your single coin of life - remember each of us can spend it any way we choose - and if you would rather spend it in a different way from this point forward. Write about both your past “spending” of your coin, and what you would like your future “spending” of your coin-called-life to be.
Daily journal writing prompt: Follow up to the previous entry by starting with a simple bulleted list - changes you can make now. Next, write a bulleted list - changes that will take time.
Then, think about how much time you have to change. Remember, none of us know how much time we have here - and oft times we put those things off that are most important.
Finally, revisit your list. What are the things that are most important to you that you would like to “spend” more of your life-coin on. Make sure those are the top of your list. Then, with each item, ask how important it is to you, and prioritize it on your life-coin-spending list accordingly.
Happy Journaling
