Busyness vs. Purpose

Beware the barrenness of a busy life
- Socrates

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
- Samuel Johnson

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition,
is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
- Dale Carnegie

Habit and routine have an unbelievable power to waste and destroy.

dedication to the job at hand,
and the determination that whether we win or lose,
we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

is a consequence of taking on too much.
Commit, and eat, in moderation.

Balance striving for success, with gentle self-care.

If you don't enjoy your career, today is the day to begin a long-term plan for creating a career that interests and excites you. In the short term, even if you hate your job, look for small joys at work each day, perhaps in your interactions with customers and co-workers.

Whenever you feel you must hurry,
ask yourself whether the busyness is fulfilling your purpose in life.
