Being busy is really just a part of life. People have always been busy. Yet, we live like ours is the first generation to face such challenges.
Listen carefully when older people talk. Pay attention to history. You’ll discover times have always been tough, and always very busy.
When we accept this as never going away, we can begin to live. But not until then. Once we accept it, we can work real hard to figure out how to survive well, and to live well. It doesn’t require much.
Were you insanely busy today?
Were you frustrated at the volume of your work? The pressure from your deadlines?
Did anything cool happen? An unexpected nice thing?
What’s keeping you afloat right now? Where do you get your strength? Your hope?
Are you a leader in this regard? Or do you rely on others?
Are you ready for tomorrow? You know why I’m asking, right?
Because tomorrow will not wait for you, nor me, to be ready. And neither will the day after that.
PS. Today’s second post. (9:30pm Orlando time)
This is not a trick question. But it is a question only you can answer.
I’m going to go for a run. And upon my return, sometime later today or tonight, I’ll finish today’s blog post.
Meanwhile, one thing we can be certain of, life is busy.
Some celebrate birthdays, some don’t. Doesn’t really matter what others do for their birthday.
What matters is what you do, whether it’s birthdays, exercise, diet, learning, work, cleaning, etc.
What you do does matter. Doesn’t it?
Sunday (like three days ago) I shot a 51-second You Tube video, since today is my 51st birthday.
Do you think I can hold my legs parallel a second for each year? Click here to see.
PS. It doesn’t matter if you click on it or not, what matters is that at 51, I can do what’s on that video.
