TOO BUSY TO GET ANYTHING ACHIEVED

If you have children you know how sometimes they can get over excited and rush around the house being crazy without thinking about the consequences. This, we all know, is when accidents are most likely to happen, so we tell them to calm down, go slow and look were they're going.

As adults we do the same thing. It’s called ‘Being Busy’.

We wake up and the rush is on the minute our feet hit the ground, with no time to think much beyond the next thing on our ‘To Do’ list.

There’s nothing actually wrong with being busy unless, like me, you can get so engaged in the running that you forget the bigger picture of where you’re running to.  If you’re not mindful, rushing can end up leading you around in circles or straight into a brick wall if you don’t calm down and take 5 minutes to set your direction.

So this is a little reminder to take 5 minutes to sit quietly and have a think about the bigger picture. What is it that you’re aiming for? What’s all the rushing around achieving? Are you on track and doing things that will lead you to where you want to go or have you wandered off track?

My advice is to calm down and take five minutes to think about where you're headed, so you don't run headlong into nowhere.  It's great to take 5 daily.
