Wise Bites: September 7, 2025

September 07, 2025 by Jeffrey Miller

Happy Sunday,

Labor Day may feel like yesterday, yet here comes another weekend. The real question: what will you do with your time?

Aristotle once said, “The end of labor is to gain leisure.” He believed you learn more about a person by how they spend their free time than by their job title.

Leisure isn’t just “time off.” It’s the hours outside obligation—the moments you truly control. The Greek word for leisure, schole, is the root of our word school. To the ancients, leisure was where learning, reflection, and growth happened.

So before the weekend slips by—ask yourself: Am I filling my leisure, or is it filling me?
