Busy

This is a word that frequently takes part in my vocabulary, though I'm quickly beginning to despise it.  How did we get to a point where our lives are controled by our adgenda?  How did we let activities take control of us rather then us controling our activities?  Granted, there are events in life that we simply must do though we might not always want to.  However, this becomes a problem when we're so consumed with everything that we feel like we must do that we no longer invest in the things that we see valuable.

The idea that we have no control over our time is a lie.  We invest our time in what we find valuable, invest it according to our top priorities.  We set our schedules; they don't control us.  How different would our world be if we no long hid behind the excuse of, "I'd love to, but I'm simply too busy", and were honest in telling others that the request or activity simply isn't priority for us?  How would the things that we say yes and no to change?
