TOO BUSY??

TOO BUSY OR MISPLACED PRIORITIES?

Did you ever notice how, when people do not call or keep in contact, they validate their actions or lack of with this reasoning: "I have been so busy" or "I am too busy"? All of us heard this from family, friends, and acquaintances. It is a flimsy excuse for putting that person last in your life by saying that others and other things come first.

EVERYONE is busy.....that is just the way it is in this day and age.`This kind of excuse is egotistic....the person in question gets so wrapped up in their life that they no longer want to keep in touch. Let's face it, no matter how busy you are or how much you do or how much is expected of you, you always find time to do what you want to do. If you can't find it, you make it.

We all can find the time to do what we want to do. If that person wanted to call or keep in contact, they would find the time. No one's life is all committment and no relaxation. If it is, it by choice, just as refusing to keep in contact is a choice. If by chance, a person's life is that busy, then perhaps it is time to makes some changes, set some priorities, and weed out certain things in our lives. To say that you are too busy to make contact with a parent or friend is selfish and again, it makes a statement loud and clear..."You are last in my life...my activities all come first!"

So the next time you think you are too busy to call a family member or friend, think about it.
Would you be too busy to contact that person if you needed their help? I doubt it...I am sure you would find time to contact then. Who or what is important in your life and after all is said and done, what really counts in the end?
