Posted On Sep 2 2014 by

Savoring Your Life vs. the Been There, Done That Attitude What would your life be like if you savored your moments?  What is your life like if you live in the attitude of been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and moved on?

Do more savoring and less of the ennui of been there… You might like this film: About Time.  It beautifully explores the distinctions around savoring your moments, savoring your life.

Enough Money
