Oh - we are SO busy....

Christmas is coming up. Rapidly. And great greetings are coming from family and friends. A very nice tradition. Especially if they contain more than just a one-line greetings: "Have a Merry Christmas". Greetings of that kind are hardly worth sending. Or getting.

One of the trends in many greetings is that people are SO busy. More busy than ever before. Worse and worse year by year. Why is that? Is it good? Is it bad? The answer is: yes and no.

It is sad, if people are SO busy that they hardly know who they are, where they are and why! It is also sad, if they at all times are driven and kicked by other people's agendas and don't do anything to change that. It would be very sad indeed, if they at the end of life had to say: Hi - where did life go?!

But I don't think that being busy is sad, if it is driven by a personal drive, by interests and by a desire to make a difference. That's what brings things forward. You never get ahead, if you always walk in other people's footsteps! Life is to to Want to Change Things. It is, of course, also helpful to be able to do it. The cocktail of Determination and Ability can easily produce a busy and even hectic life.

So let's not be busy only shouting at being busy. Let's be busy enjoying what we are doing!

I do!
