Silver Linings

Busy is in the eye of the beholder. It can't really be called busy if the majority of your activities are self-inflicted, self-served or self-chosen. Nonetheless everybody can fill up all hours of his or her day extremely quickly with all kinds of tasks. It could be a sport, a job, even a person.

You can complain all you want about not having enough time, but it's all a choice. You can be as busy or not as you want... as long as you realize that there are consequences and if you want to carry them.

Sometimes you get less busy involuntarily... you might get a signal from your body (getting sick or getting stressed), or something else happens: You get locked in your elevator, or you crash your car, or you get stopped by police. Anyways, when that happens it's best to look at the silver linings: at least you got to fill up your time with something new and exciting. And that is the source of great stories...
