How did life becomes so busy that we don’t have time to sit and look at the trees
How did life become so overwhelming that we don’t have time to stop and listen to the sound of nature
How did life become so busy that we don’t have time to listen to our inner most selves
Why are we allowing ourselves to become so busy that we are too busy being busy that we miss out on life’s little surprises and treasures that present themselves every single day
Why do we feel guilty being idle?
When it is the idle mind that allows creativity and detours to manifest
When it is the idle mind that allows us to rest and rejuvenate
Not the busy mind that tricks us into believing that we have to be busy in order to impress
Why do we spend so much of our time trying to impress others when the only person we need to impress is ourselves?
And by being so busy trying to be everything to everyone else we end up being nothing to ourselves
We have to learn to stop
To be idle without guilt
To allow ourselves to decompress
To reassess where we are in our lives
And ask ourselves the questions
What would we be doing if we had the chance?
What would make our hearts rejoice and our souls sing the most?
What would we be doing if we were truly free to be the person that so desperately wants to emerge from behind the façade?
Is that why we keep ourselves so busy
So that we won’t have time to listen to our inner most selves
So we won’t have time to come face to face with our essence selves
With whom we really are on the inside?
Being busy may shut out the noise of our essence selves for a time
But there will come a time when that decision is taken away from us
When if we don’t stop and listen
If we don’t take heed
Our inner most desires being cut off will manifest in ways not pleasant
Because our bodies will begin to take on the feelings of unrest of our minds and spirits
Forcing us to stop by making us ill
Sick, full of disease physically and sometimes mentally too
That is why it is so important for us to be idle sometimes
To just be
To stop
Without guilt
Without excuses
Without explanation
So we can listen to our inner most selves
Allowing us to manifest our deepest desires
And follow our own yellow brick roads home
Because we always have the answer to who we are
And what we are
When we stop and listen
When we stop being busy for the sake of being busy
