New: Sometimes we earn the day, sometimes we sit on the couch

Sometimes we earn the day, sometimes we sit on the couch

This picture showed up in my email today. Austin Kleon, the guys who made this, takes a newspaper and blacks out everything but the story he wants to tell.

Sometimes we earn the day…

The phrase “earn the day” caught my attention. How can I earn my day, both at AT&T and on my site? Am I doing what I can to earn this current day? Did I earn yesterday?

Lately, I know I have earned my day creatively and at my church. I’ve been pouring into both more than I ever have. And unfortunately, because of this, my work at AT&T has been slacking. My day job is what pays the bills, so you would think I’d be completely focused on it, but I seem to get comfortable and go through the motions. I haven’t been earning my day there.

Sometimes we sit on the couch.

It’s important for me to give each day everything I have and not be complacent. I have all the tools that I could possibly need: a great paying job, a vehicle, a website, an iPad, a microphone. There’s no reason why I can’t earn my day. From when I wake up until I close my eyes, my goal is to earn the day.

Side note: I love Austin Kleon’s book, Steal Like An Artist. Highly recommend it.
