Life is short, and it is meant to be lived well. Wouldn’t you rather pour your energy into living it with virtue, steadiness, and joy than spend your days wrestling with every distraction that tries to muddle it?
Life is much too short to . . .
. . . waste time.
. . . not read the Bible.
. . . read tasteless books/magazines.
. . . be subjected to vulgar language.
. . . be exposed to disparaging gossip.
. . . argue with strangers on the Internet.
. . . be around people with no sense of humor.
. . . be around combative and negative people.
. . . watch a program that turns out to be vapid.
. . . listen to the “news” when there isn’t any news.
. . . not crack open a book written by or about a saint.
. . . be entertained by raunchy “entertainers” and “artists.”
. . . put up with the rat-a-tat-tat of unimportant intrusions.
Life— wouldn’t you rather live it well and virtuous than fight what’s interfering with it?
