You Are Success!

Top Priority...Read This Article!

You're walking down the street and you happen to bump into Mike whom you haven't seen in a while. You exchange greetings and he asks you what you've been up to,
I've been busy!

You later run into Sarah whom you probably haven't seen in a few years and you trade handshakes and she asks you a similar question wondering how life has been treating you. Once again you answer with
I've been busy!

Is that all you've got? How many times do we say these words and how many times do we hear it from others? Too many to count would sound about right. What are we are doing that is occupying all of our time? Are these things providing us with a feeling of fulfillment or simply leaving us with an emptiness without any sense of accomplishment?

Don't worry my friends because you are not alone! Millions of people are feeling this way everyday. Living in such a fast paced society, people tend to get caught up in the routine of the everyday and they begin to lose sight of what is truly important to them in their lives. As a result, people begin experiencing poor health, troubled relationships, distant dreams, low self esteem and the list goes on. The balance of life gets lost in the shuffle of the "everyday" and many find it difficult to pull themselves out of their familiar way of life.

Well there is a cure and don't worry because I'm not going to prescribe you some sort of pharmaceutical products with major side effects. The answer is inside of you at this moment. Bring yourself back to the innocence of your childhood.
What did you dream to be?

What did you wish to become?

What did you want to do with your life?

Most importantly...
What stood in the way of you realizing that dream?

Somewhere along the way you have lost sight of the end vision and have given preference to less important things. People find themselves constantly in reactive mode tending to phone calls, meetings and time wasters such as instant messengers at work. At the same time more important issues that may be less urgent most frequently get neglected such as relationship building/nurturing, prevention, planning and searching for new opportunities. How are things supposed to evolve in your life if you are not taking any steps towards your goal? Without laying the base how do you plan to build a home?

In the end, the cycle continues until you and only you decide that it's time to take control of your life and realize that now is the time. Now is the time to set your priorities straight and to begin planning to take action!

  • I find myself saying "just been busy" a lot too.

    The only difference is that I've been busy working on things to get closer to my dreams.

    I think Being Busy is not such a bad thing if you've actually been busy rather than just saying been busy because you have nothing else to say.

    I think saying "nothing, same old stuff" is something to be really concerned about.

    just my thoughts

  • I agree Vitaly, saying "same old stuff" is simply a sign that someone lacks the motivation and may even feel that they have no sense of direction.

    Others use "I've been busy" when they have nothing else to say because it becomes an automated response. Many times it may not have much substance as many tend to be busy in the everyday routine of life. In this instance, people tend to find themselves more in a reactive state than in a planning state in moving towards their dreams.
