Summary of this article
This morning I finished reading, Reconciled By The Light, The After-Death Letters of a Teen Suicide, by Ron Pappalardo. One of the strong impressions it left on me was that what's important in the next life is really heart, love, and relationships. Considering that we mostly fill up our days with lots of busy-ness which has little relevance to the reality of spirit life, I thought this message might be a good reminder to all of us to treasure our loved ones by giving them a piece of our lives (time) today.

Stop With The "Busy" Written by Leo Babauta. Stop being busy and your job is half done. Think about how busy we are, and how it has become a way of bragging: "I'm so busy, I must be important." "I have a million things to do! I never have time for anything! I can't slow down - I'm too busy." This is thought to be a good thing in a society where we must be productive, active, occupied. But it's a fool's game. Busy is simply noise, action without meaning, lots of little unimportant things rather than a few important ones. Stop being busy. Just decide to stop, today. Now you're halfway done. You've decided to slow down, and to focus on what's important. All of a sudden, your schedule clears up, and your to-do list shrinks down to almost nothing. Now you just have one or two things to do, instead of a million. You clear distractions, and focus. But how can you stop being busy? It's a simple change of mindset. You start by saying, "I'm not going to be busy anymore." Even if you have little control over your schedule, you can decide that you'll slow down, and pick the important things to work on, and if necessary, talk to your boss about doing this. If you do control your schedule, you can drop all the busywork, and just pick the high-impact tasks. It might seem impossible, but once you decide to put an End to Busy, you have taken the biggest step. You can now make time for work you're passionate about, or for work that matters. You can make time for solitude, for creating. You can make time for contemplation, for yourself. Stop being busy, and your job is half done. --------------------- "Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings." ~Jane Austen "Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing." ~Lao Tzu _________________________________________________
