Just Being is just fine...

Everyone is always so busy doing, and that's fine but what happened to being? When did it become unpopular to Not be over busy, to Not have a cell phone attached to your body or to only have one or two things on the agenda?

It surprises people that I don't have ten different doings happening in my life each day. It's almost as if I am ill or void of a 'real' life. It's become a status symbol to stay as busy as the day is long, yet so many people have forgot that they are human beings first.

Yes it's absolutely fine to have a full life, and it's also absolutely fine to have a life that's perhaps only sometimes filled with doings but always filled with being. I'm able to unplug, and continually familiarize myself with what's really important, who it is I choose to be and who I am growing into. Everyday connections with other people even getting a smile out of a stranger is a connection well made. We were put here to be examples of love to and for one another, to help and to, reach out to each other. Connections don't have to be some grand gesture, some of the best things come in the smallest packages!

Having a life and success are defined differently for each one of us, however, most of us have been unduly influenced by society's measuring stick as to what being a successful person should be. I try not to get too caught up in so many worldly ways, but to live simple and as true to myself as I can. It is my hope to inspire and and continued to be inspired by the beauty of life and it's lessons that teach me each day.
