Love Someone Today, Care About Others, Let Kindness and Generosity Be OK

We live in such a hectic world and somewhere along the way, we've let that become OK. I'm just too busy. i have so much going on - we say. And we know that everyone around us will accept that answer because they feel the same way. But what are we really keeping busy with and what does any of it matter anyway?

Didn't you originally go to work so that you could make a life for your family? That same family that you now never have time to talk with because you are so busy?

Didn't you originally join those clubs or activities to meet people and make new friends? Those same friends you now don't have time to interact with because you're so busy with all those clubs and activities?

Didn't you take that promotion so that you could make a little extra money and do some extra things with your family and friends and for yourself? You know, yourself - that person who drops into bed exhausted at night wondering how you'll ever find all the time you need to catch up on everything.

At some point in life you begin to realize that all of this running and hectic and crazy in our life - happened because we made a choice to let it. And we are the same people who can choose to end it.

You can choose to let one activity go. You can choose to be late for something or to just not go. You can begin to realize that if you don't start to make changes in your life to fit in the things that truly should be priorities - you're never going to have a life.

Love someone today. Care about others. Let kindness and generosity be OK.

You don't have to keep running around like a crazy person trying to be and do everything. You don't have to keep believing the world view that cynical and tough are the right way. You can begin to make small changes in your life today to bring love and kindness and generosity back.

You don't have to wait for congress or the government or your boss to say it's OK. You don't have to keep thinking - well right after this is done or maybe one day.

You made the choices to do all the things that are stressing you and keeping you from being loving today. And you can make the choice to live as a new and happier you starting today.

Yes, it may mean breaking some commitments and just walking away, but that's OK. It's time to remember what's actually important to you and why you do the things you do and how to get back to living as you each and every day.
