Dear Busy Individual,
Sometimes, others may think that you are taking on too much, that your schedule is just too packed. You'll hear phrases from these people, such as... "Can you ever just take a break?" "You're taking on too much. Slow down." "Ugh... why are you so busy ALL the time."
Yes, sometimes you do need to take these comments into account because it's hard to realize how much you may have going on from a day to day basis. You sometimes get lost in the craziness of your own schedule. However, I know that as a busy individual, you are often misunderstood. Sometimes people look down upon you, saying that you aren't truly enjoying life being that busy.
Although you may get stressed from such an overwhelming schedule once in a while, you aren't so busy because you want enjoy making yourself go crazy. You are busy because you enjoy it. You are busy because you want more for yourself. You are busy because you are ambitious.
You might be busy with summer classes, or extra curricular activities or working a part time job. You might be busy because you are off adventuring with your friends, or being with your family or taking time for yourself to get work done you've wanted to do for a long time.
All of these reasons why you are busy should not looked down upon by others. By being busy with all these different events, you are providing yourself with what you know you deserve.
You are taking summer classes and busting your ass in school because you know you deserve to get an education to create more opportunities for yourself in the future. You are busy with extra curricular activities because you enjoy it and want to continue your passion for whatever that extra curricular activity might be. You are working that part time job because you want the money to better your life and to buy the things you want/need. You are busy with friends and family because you want to surround yourself by people who you love and who love you back.
Why should others look down upon this and make you feel bad for being really busy? You are bettering yourself by being busy! Yes, you could probably be less busy and sit down on a couch and watch Netflix for hours. I'll be the first to admit that it's nice having these days once in a while, but you wouldn't be reaching your full potential by doing that all the time. Doing nothing for hours is the easier task, but being busy is the ambitious answer to your needs and wants.
Busy individual, do not ever think for a second that being busy is a problem. Do not let others tell you that being busy is not the way to live, because being busy is how you personally reach your success. Although at times you may want to scream from the amount of stuff you have going on, just remember that you're doing great.
Keep on being busy, you've got this.
Love,
Another Busy Individual
