Busy Is As Busy Does

I hear you.
You’re busy.
I’m busy.
We’re all busy.
Busier than we’ve ever been.
That’s the reality of our new economic paradigm.
But even as stretched as we might feel, we still need to participate.
Get involved.
The way I see it, most people are on the world, not in it.
When we’re all rushing to keep up, there’s a dangerous tendency to phone it in.
Sit in meetings and let it just waft past us.
We’ve all done it – sat in a brainstorm and never got our energy levels out of first gear.
Dial into a conference call and then doodle on a notepad with the phone on mute.
Don’t.
Play a part.
Make your mark.
Shake things up.
You’ll be amazed at how energy creates more energy.
Act dynamically and you’ll be dynamic.
You’ll feel so much better for it.
As Mr White Chocolate says:
"Don't be a hater be a participator"
