Last week while coming home from a trip to Yellowstone with 100 other passengers in a 5-hour flight from Denver to Ft. Lauderdale. I was thinking what should I be doing there. The idea for this post came to my mind then and there. I watched people doing all sorts of things on the flight and made mental notes of the things I thought were interesting.

Some of the ideas like hand wrestling, playing card games on your tablet computer, knitting sweaters and writing letters, etc were originated in flight. I often find myself in a situation where I have nothing important to do. This article might make your free time pass by faster while you achieve some satisfaction out of it. Aren’t we supposed to make our lives meaningful?

Actually, nowadays I look at traffic stats and Facebook updates when I don’t have anything to do. Which are pure time-wasting activities? This article can eliminate such time waste from my life and from your life.

Let me ask you, have you completed all the tasks for the day or are you having a day off?

Does your company allow you a free afternoon every week or are you just having a holiday?

The things you do during this time when there is nothing to do could just bring change to your life, organization or even your family. You need not do anything extravagant or anything that will tire you. Just a simple act that can help others and make you better is something worthwhile.

Believe me, you’ll feel happy if you accomplish any of these things. There can be thousand more activities let this article help you find those on your own.

It is about love, always love. 
Do everything with love. 
Do what you love to do.
