🔥What Are You Giving Your One Precious Life To?
“For the most part, we are too busy doing just about everything, that means just about nothing, to just about nobody, just about anywhere…and will mean even less to anyone a hundred years from now!”
― Matthew Kelly, The Rhythm of Life: Living Everyday with Passion and Purpose
(Shoutout to and for mentioning this book in our 'favorite books' post previoulsy)
This quote hits because it exposes an uncomfortable truth.We stay busy doing things that feel urgent, productive, and necessary. But when we view it from the balcony, a lot of that busyness does not actually matter. Not deeply at least, right? Not long-term and not to the people we think it does.
Busyness often becomes a distraction from asking harder questions.. (guilty)...Am I doing this because it’s meaningful, or because it fills the space? Am I spending time with these individuals because this is a good connection or because it makes me feel less alone for a short time (but maybe even more lonely and bankrupt long term)? Am I moving with intention, or just moving?
Being busy can feel safer than being purposeful because purpose requires choice and choice requires clarity. Aaaand clarity asks us to let some things go. Also, sometimes it's hard to have the clarity and then we feel restless and we fill in the discomfort with staying busy...full circle.
Poll: Most of your busyness right now is driven by:
QUESTION to ponder: What’s one thing you stay busy with that you secretly know doesn’t matter as much as it claims to?
ACTION: This week, take some time and write down how you fill your time. Identify what 'truly' matters and maybe pick one thing that doens't matter in the same way and start letting go of it. (this first week may be a tough one because a lot of people are engaging in more intentional usage of their time).c
Busyness is driven by: Responsibility and obligation
Busyness is driven by: Fear of Falling Behind
Busyness is driven by: Genuine Passion and Meaning
Busyness is driven by: Habit and Momentum
