On Saturday I was walking my dogs through the park near our apartment. I stopped to chat with the security guard and he asked me how I was. My response, "I'm so busy with work and running a lot." He responded by saying, "in this economy it's good to be busy." Good to be busy?
As I walked back home I couldn't stop thinking about his response. The security guard made me think about how I am thinking about and talking about my life right now. Yes, I am busy (in fact, I might be a little too overcommitted), but I am working to accomplish great things.
Our language creates our reality, so when I talk about being busy I feel more tension and stress. What would happen if I start to talk about how I am working hard to reach my goals or maybe even that I am fortunate to have the opportunities that I have?
Two lessons learned.
1). Our language creates our reality. Choose your words carefully!
2). You never know where an inspiration, idea or new perspective will come from so remain open to talking to different people and learning from different places.
