Being Busy Is One Thing, Being Overbusy Is ...
Contributed by Jim Kane on Dec 3, 2008 (message contributor)
Being busy is one thing, being overbusy is another. Life, reality has limits. Right now our nation, I believe is having to learn (I truly hope) that there are limits. We have to come to grips with the truth that we can only do so much in a day and in a month and in a year and in a lifetime. We are told and taught that ‘you can do anything you want to’ and to a certain degree that is true, but it is not possible. We have to make choices, we have to say ‘no’ so that we can ‘yes’ to the right things. Jim Kane
