Putting in time and effort

When something is important enough, we will put in time and effort for it.

I really want to improve in my taiji, so I put a lot of time and effort into it.

I also want to improve in my calligraphy (but not as much as taiji), which is why I do put in time and effort into it, but not as much.

I don't really care if I can get better at Korean... that explains why I don't really think too much about it.

With only 24 hours in a day, we all need to ask ourselves, what is important for us. Because that is really how we allocate our time.

Discharging my responsibility at work is important for me. Because I am a person who values responsibility. That is why I work so hard too.

My family is important to me. That is why I spend time and effort on them too.

With only 24 hours in a day... the time and effort must go to the important things. Things that mean something to me. They may be small, they may not have any financial or commercial value, but they have value to me. Like family, friends, hobbies.

Life is for living. And what is living if we are not doing the things that really matter to us?
