How often do we indicate that we’re “just too busy” to do something important? ‘Busy is a decision. We do the things we want to do, period. If we say we are too busy, it is just shorthand for the thing being “not important enough” or “not a priority.’ (D.Millman) We all have 24 hours a day, the hard part is deciding how to use those hours. What have you been avoiding recently that you blamed on “busy-ness”, when actually you didn’t see it as a priority. I think when we recognize our decisions are based on our priorities, we may choose to make different decisions.

Greatness: Idea #59
Would you like to be GREAT? ‘Greatness is harder to achieve than it is to define. It is not a destination, it’s a journey. The people who want to achieve greatness know they will never get there – it is the uphill climb…that leads them to achieve their personal greatness.’ (J.Maxwell) How are you going on your road to greatness? Are you realizing that this is a lifetime journey of being the kind of person that demonstrates greatness? Are you working out daily on your development muscles, as that’s the true way to stay on the road to greatness.

What-if: Idea #58
Have you ever found yourself playing the “what if” game in life? Thinking about a decision you made, an event that happened and how you responded, etc. I’ve personally had this happen, where I kept thinking about how I approached a situation, and wondering “what if” I had said this, or done that – would it have come out better? Things that we’ve experienced in the past are good for learning experiences, however, spending time on “what if” scenarios doesn’t really help us grow and develop – as generally this type of thinking leads down the road to guilt, regret, and feelings of failure. Look at your experiences as learning opportunities, not as another round of “what if” blaming.
