I was just thinking about how busy we all seem lately. What is compelling us to run around insanely day in and day out, over scheduling, over analyzing, over doing everything? Is it because we have no control over it? Would love to stop but can't? Or, could it be something deeper than that. Could it be our very identity is so tied into activity and achievement that we can't get past it? Could it be that our value as a person is called into question when we slow down?





It really is everywhere you look. Notice that just about every conversation begins with how busy everyone is. So much to do. Sorry, would love to see you but I have been out straight. And is this endless state of activity getting us anywhere? I often reflect on my "busy" day and see many activites that don't add up to anything related to my ultimate goal. I see lists of things to do with no particular goal in mind except ....keeping busy.





Maybe we should all think about what we would like to do if we weren't so busy....make a list, put "to-do" on the top and get busy doing that instead!
