Been thinking a lot about this phrase in the last day. After reading this article about ditching the smart phone. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-frazier/in-defense-of-inconvenien_b_6693588.html )
Inconvenient but worth it.
Because I think pretty much every since thing I think of can fall into that category.
Watching a movie with your kids when you have a ton to do.
Making a homemade meal instead of eating out.
Creating and grading a Unit Test that is standards based and reflects the whole of student's learning.
Shoveling the driveway.
Having kids.
Doing the laundry.
Being kind.
Getting up at 5 am to go the gym.
Going camping.
Living life deep.
Seriously this is the mantra of life. None of this life is convenient because I don't think that is what God created this life for. He created it to be a heck of lot more fun, more full, and filled with the rigamaroll that comes with all of the messy life we life every day.
I think I'm going to embrace this more than ever. I think I'm going to remember that the goal of life isn't to be a wimp and live in comfort. It's just like Dead Poet Society said, "live deep". Deep definitely isn't convenient, but it's worth it.
