Did you ever notice how there is never enough time to do everything, or so it seems? But there is always enough time to do the important things. I am always amused how some busy business people can never take time out for personal development or leisure time convinced that if they were not there "the place would fall apart". And so, they are always there, before everyone arrives and after everyone leaves, never taking time to do the important things they want to do.
Yet, that same person, who could never take off three days for a personal development seminar, gets a surprise phone call one afternoon. Their mother has just passed away unexpectedly. Three hours later, they are on a plane flying to attend to the funeral and family, dropping everything at work.
When they return, a few days later, is there anything to come back to? You bet. Sure, some things get fouled up, but they are corrected and life goes on. "The graveyards filled with indispensable people."
Why does it take a death, a heart attack or some other personal emergency to convince people to do what they know they she be doing in the first place? It is a choice. Life is a constant series of choices. We choose to work. We choose our relationships. We choose how we spend every hour (or we allow others to).
