I've been thinking today about what's important vs what's urgent!
I talk to people all the time who are just too busy doing this or that to do something that might be really important in their lives.
Ever feel frenzied, frazzled, or realize that you're just busy being busy? Join the crowd!
I have a few suggestions.
First; Stop and smell the roses! Even dandelions will work! Just stop and smell something (beautiful of course)! Taking time out to ponder and wonder at this amazing world we live in is a great way to help us see our priorities more clearly! Busyness is really just a distraction.
In fact a mentor of mine told me recently that he considered Busyness and Laziness as two different symptoms of the same disease, Lack of Focus!
Second; Take some time out to examine your priorities. Figure out what is really important in your life and what is just urgent.
If you graphed out how you spend your time each day on a pie chart, would it reflect your priorities or someone elses?
Most of the urgent things will pass without any significant consequences.
Third: Spend your time (Your most valuable gift) only on things that really matter to your priorities and your life will begin to fill up with value and meaning!
Nobody on this earth is unimportant except as they allow themselves to be! No matter who you are, your life has meaning and it's up to you to find it and open the door!
Your life really is important in the grand scheme of things! If it doesn't feel that way, start looking at what you're spending your time on! Find out what your purpose is and pursue it with a passion!
Have an awesome day my friends!
