"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." ~Socrates
Wow...beware the barrenness of a busy life! Take a look at your life. Are you always busy? Is it barren? Are you running from meeting to meeting, driving like a maniac banchee to get to where you need to be next...without any consideration of others? How's that working for you?
Socrates, 2500 years ago saw the barrenness. Do you? REALLY?? Our society has programmed us to WANT MORE, NEED MORE, GET MORE...But is that all there is? More?
More recently, Mahatma Gandhi said "There is more to life than increasing its speed." Yet, that is all we seem able to do. Knowledge is doubling every 6 months...Computers that you bought 6 months ago now could almost be obsolete. There's so much new information coming at us, we can't keep up (and that's tough for us recovering perfectionists...lol) In fact, according to Google, there is more information posted online every 48 hours than was known from the beginning of time to 2004! According to YouTube, 100 hours of video are posted there every MINUTE!!
It has been said that "The time to relax is when you don't have time for it." Take a few moments today, stop your hectic schedule, put away the IPad, I-Phone and I-RELAX!!!!! Go ahead, do it. Turn technology off fo 5-10 minutes. You can do it. OK, you say that you need permission...I GIVE YOU PERMISSION...to relax for 5-10 minutes today. That's all, 5-10 minutes. It will change your day, your week, your month...maybe even your life!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
