I decided to frame my day with a different word. Instead of busy, I’m going to define my life with the word full.
“Busy” sounds stressful, tiring, and negative. “Full” suggests something positive, satisfying, and appealing.
Busy lives are occupied with those who drain your energy. Full lies are fueled by those who energize and lift up.
Would you rather be busy or full?
What if the interruptions, requests, and appeals were those things that filled your day? What if they gave you something rather than taking something from you?
That’s the difference. And you determine the difference. Did you simply give? Or did you receive?
I desire days full of learning, experiencing, doing, and being. I’ve learned to love days filled with people, places, and events. Those same days could be characterized as routine, dull, and boring.
Or they might be described as full.
It depends on your perspective. If I don’t get everything done, it might just be a day filled with people I love, the rest my body needs, and time to figure out what’s really important.
Most of my days are full. I am rarely bored. I have places to go, people to see, things to do, new experiences, and interruptions.
Busy? Nope. My life is full!
Waite for it...
