The weekend is about to end--how many of you who didn't work feel rested and refreshed as you head into this coming work week? Or was your weekend a whirlwind of activity and busyness?
Do you already know what you'll be doing each and everyday of the week coming up? Is your schedule full and spoken for?
Simplify and slow down! You will enjoy life more. Consider the following--
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." ~Socrates
Hurrying here--hurrying there to do this, to do that,---finishing your days in exhaustion, and for what? Socrates was truly prophetic as it applies to life in 21th century America.
Want to get off the 'merry-go-round'? Give thought to these words from Bruce Lee:
“It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.”
It is the want of things and the desire for stimulation that is so often the root of our being part of a life that is overcrowded with activity.
The words of Lao Tzu below are wise and true, I came to realize this after I finally stopped what had become a runaway train, a train that I no longer had any control over.
“Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.”
35 minutes at 2/3's pace---exhausting! stretching after--had to skip the weights.
How was your day?
