Help – I Don’t Have Time For Everything!
“Life is long if you know how to use it.” — Seneca the Younger
In this episode, S. D. Smith and Brett Harris wrestle with how young writers (and really anyone) should think about time, calling, and pursuing multiple passions.
The pressure is real: “Pick one thing for life” vs. “Do it all at once.” But both approaches miss the truth. You don’t have to do everything right now—but you have far more time than you think.
You’ll hear:
- Seneca’s wisdom on time—and how wasting it is our greatest danger
- Why you can’t do everything at once, but you can do more than you think in a lifetime
- How investing time (instead of wasting it) creates whole new opportunities
- Encouragement for young writers torn between writing and other callings
- Real-life examples of artists and storytellers who pursued multiple passions—just not all at once
This conversation is full of hope, perspective, and practical encouragement for every writer who feels the clock ticking.
