Learn to say No – there will always be Unfinished Business

Many of us have the tendency to measure how successful a day was in terms of things that we got done. We can even prioritize our to-do list items over other activities vital to our wellbeing, such as spending time with family and friends, having quiet time for ourselves, walking in nature. It can be relentless – as items on our “lists” are checked off, new ones simply replace them. What we need to see is that if we are only concerned with what’s not done, we will never find peace. Today let’s remind ourselves that the purpose of life is not to get it all done, but to “enjoy the ride.” On the day we die, there will still be unfinished business to take care of.  And ironically, someone else will do it for us!
