Too busy? Really? Think about how much stuff you do each and every day that doesn\u2019t amount to a hill of beans. If your passion is writing, but you say you\u2019re too busy to write, I call bullshit!<\/p>\n<p>We fill our lives with things that we are not passionate about. Again, if your passion is writing, or even if it\u2019s in your top 5 things to do\u2026than STOP: watching tv, playing video games, gossiping on the phone, staring into that other universe where the purple people eaters hang out, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This may be coming across a little harsh\u2026BUT, you know where I got the idea for this post? From listening to myself, I\u2019ve been hearing the words \u201cI\u2019m too busy\u201d fly out of my mouth a lot lately and actually got disgusted by it yesterday. \u201cI\u2019m too busy\u201d is nothing but an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>If you truly WANT to do something, if you truly are PASSIONATE about doing this thing\u2026than YOU WILL make time for it. You will prioritize and stop doing the things that are \u201ctime wasters\u201d. Think about it\u2026what could you eliminate from your day? Don\u2019t be shocked when you start eliminating certain things and the world keeps going!!
