You know how it is. The never ending round of work, meetings, reports, travel, research, email, interviews, on and on. You are very busy.
Don’t get me wrong, busy is good. It means business is going well. It means you are a person of action. It means you have goals. It means you are needed.
Yet, something is wrong with this picture. Could it be that somewhere in the bustle of life you have forgotten to live?
Some times I work with a broken leader who has lost his family, or has had a breakdown, or a heart attack. This is what one person told me:
“I wish I had taken more time to enjoy life, not just to work, work, work, forgetting everything else. What do I have now? At work they replaced me fast enough. My family not only does not miss me, they have turned away from me. They say I was never with them. True, I have money. But I’m sick and feel lonely. I feel as if life has passed me by.”
Don’t be like my friend.
Breathe the fresh air after a storm.
Notice the colors of the sunset.
Go to your child's game or recital.
Take that special someone out for a leisurely meal.
Stop by the shore and let the sound of the waves soothe you.
Take a moment to listen to your friend.
Notice a beautiful work of art.
Take time to love and be loved.
Don’t just be busy. Live life!
