Busyness Does Not Equal Success!

Wow! This week is already kicking me in the backside! I have so much to do! Sometimes I look at my calendar, and think, "Lord! How am I going to get through this?" In times like these, I know it is just by the grace of God! I intended to write this piece early Monday. But here I am at home late, not yet in bed. I should be sleeping, but what's that saying? "We can sleep when we're dead?" Or something like that. So here I am working out a word of encouragement for myself, and hopefully you too!
So in the busyness of this week, let me ask you, "What are you accomplishing?" Are you reaching your goals of success? I am making some headway, but I always find it is best when I have a plan! This week my schedule is busy, and I must follow my plan! I have to do things on purpose! I must make certain things a priority! I must show up and have my head in the game. I need to show my wife that I care. I need to prove to my boss that I care, and am accomplishing goals set before me. I must make time for my children and be ready for the family reunion this next weekend. So much to do, and so little time!
But that is often what life is. So many things to get done, and always still more beckoning. Can you feel the pressure? Likely your life is much the same. This is where we take a step back and remind ourselves, "This is my priority." I get into the most trouble when I try to make everything a priority. That is when the pressure really comes. What is your priority? Write that down on paper, and then move from there! Have a blessed day! Will talk to you again real soon!
Blessings,
Hy
