Being Busy Is A Choice

Dear busy person,

It’s good to remember that being busy is a choice. And that you don’t have to do everything during the day that you do…

…When, in fact, you choose to do it all because each task outweighs the consequences of not doing it (otherwise, why do it?).

…And if that’s true, then why do it all with resentment? With anger? With upset? With anxiety? With rage?

…If it’s true that doing each task is your top choice for things to do in that moment because it outweighs the consequences of not… why not do it with joy? With presence? With humor? With care? With grace?

Why not try to really enjoy your busyness rather than try to hastily get to the busyness finish line (is there even such a thing)? Don’t you think busyness is precisely what life is made up of? If not that, then what? And if life isn’t experienced in the bulk of the everyday, then when?

…Something to reflect on throughout your day today. :)
