Is this enough. Like really enough? Constrained in the detail of doing I believe we forget to pause, stretch our heads above the crowd and look around once in a while. Are you missing out? On better growth, opportunities, lifestyle, income, greater contributions to society and the environment.
Don’t mistaken my question with the one about balance. I firmly believe we need more play, more quiet time and less to-do lists. The excessive demand to do more with less, that working hard is the only method to success and the ever-increasing blur between work and personal time is crippling us as a society. Never before have we been capable of more and yet we are the most time-poor of all generations we’ve succeeded.
We are living in a time of great opportunity but are we embracing it? The access to adult education is vast, valid excuses are rare. Slowly, women and minority groups are gaining authority and respect in the workforce, are you demanding or facilitating it? The flexibility to work is real, are you experimenting with it?
Are your hands on the wheel or are you buckled up in the back seat along for the ride?
Have you lost your drive, your passion, your spark to demand more? What changed?
Are you afraid to fail, to let others down or worse – let yourself down, are you afraid to fail or are you afraid to try?
Be honest with yourself.
Busy is a shameful excuse for not harnessing the power and opportunity to live a better life.
With love, Kristie
