Busy-ness is toxic

When our calendar is packed and then a small but important to solve challenge appears. And sometimes (daily?) more than one challenge appears. Photo: This 17 should never be more than two. Never.

Business consulting-type work has heightened my awareness of, and ability to consciously detect, how busy most people are.

It’s obscene.

The stress has unknowingly become contagious.

But now it’s crystal clear.

Ask me how much busy-ness i can tolerate at this life-stage.

Easy answer at six-plus decades on the planet and five-plus decades in the workforce…

Zero.

To each their own, work

Contribute what you want to contribute.

To each their own. 

Don’t worry about what others think about what and how you contribute.

They subconsciously do worry about what you contribute. Why? Because if you are passionate, “you might perform better than them” and lessen their chances for recognition.

And if you get the courage to contribute as a business owner, and do the hard work to become sustainable, you can contribute any way your artistry compels you to.

Most people know of this. i knew of it.

But i never understood it until i experienced it. No theory, only relentless reps.

Now, as a 15-year business owner, i know in a way few know.

Funny (more like weird) looking back at how naive i was.

Anywhere we sit is an opportunity for stillness.

Bless us with peace.

Please develop us in such a way that we may sit quietly for an hour and want for nothing.

Do nothing

Glacier National Park
GNP. Mt Clements, July 2014.

Because it is less structured than work, leisure time leaves workaholics at a loss for what to do. Workaholics practically climb the wall when they can’t work.

Marilyn Macholowicz

Learn to be able to be busy doing nothing. It’s a gift to yourself.
