Too Busy

So when I started this blog I thought it would be easy to keep up with it. As you can see it’s been a while and I apologize for that. I feel that everyday flies by so fast. I don’t know about you but I can’t keep up with time! When I had my accident, I thought my life would be boring and uneventful. Well, today it is completely the opposite. I’m so busy! I’m an inspirational speaker, I work part-time at my church, I have two home based businesses, and the list goes on and on. I started reading an amazing book titled “The Next Generation Leader” by Andy Stanley. The first chapter is about prioritizing your life and choosing to do the things you are called to do and stopping the things you aren’t. I have recently stepped back from a few things because I’m learning that being busy does not always mean I’m being productive. Are you too busy today? What are you doing that you are not called to do? We all need to examine our lives, because too many of us are filling our lives with too much TV, internet games and other things that are leaving us unhappy and unsatisfied at the end of the day. Not that there is anything wrong with these things when they are balanced, but it’s way too easy to get sucked in and lose all priorities of our life. So, what’s going to matter in the long run? What was on TV or spending quality time with your kids or spouse? Did you make a difference in other people’s lives or did you rush home to play a video game? There are so many things that want to pull us away from what we need to accomplish; the list goes on and on. So, I want to challenge all of us to remember that we only get one life; are we going to be happy with the choices we made?
