Never Feel That You Are Busy

By Giridhar Alwar

We must accept we all are almost busy throughout the day. When it comes to taking up a new challenge, we will have everything but time. People are enthusiastic, positive, optimistic, but time is everything they have not.

It sounds crazy. Right…?

Of course, it does.

I said the same thing when my master asked me, “where were you these many days...?”

To those who deal with multiple tasks simultaneously and work through long hours in the evening, time is sufficient and even more than they required.

How does it sound…? This sounds insane.

But I understood the concept behind the person who is free enough to accept new challenges in life and who is busy with his current ongoings after,

I heard about a person who has written a hundred books in various aspects. He prepares notes on multiple topics being a professor in a university to instruct his students. Spends his quality time with family (quality time has a different meaning during this era). He used to research on other aspects and mark them down for future generations to know.

Telling all his activities, my master asked me, “what do you feel…? Can we say we are busy in our lives, comparatively…?”

“Comparatively…?”

“Why the god's sake I do a comparison with him,” my inner voice said.

Sitting on a couch, keeping legs straight, shaking them, and watching a movie. I confronted my mom multiple times that I was busy and cannot get into any other work at that moment. I remembered that.

After that, I could not use the word busy. So, I said, “maybe at times, I will be busy.”

“Yeah, this is what I expected from my professor to tell me. At least one time in his lifetime,” my master continued.

You cannot see him idle. Leaving his daily necessities, he will be doing so many things until he goes to bed.

But if you ask him, “Sir, can I have a minute, if you are free…?”

“Why not dear, I can have my whole day, I’m completely free and doing nothing, he says.”

My master continued to tell me about him.

People who work a lot would find time for new things, challenges, and whatnot. They manage their time, change working priorities knowing the reality of life. But people who feel they are busy and have no time find reasons instead.

One should know to manage time to keep life balanced and happy.

In the world of uncertainties, we hold nothing but memories and happiness. Do everything that you desired while harming no one, become what you wanted to become. Help others in your terms. Give your time to your people. Keep yourselves happy first and make others happy.

Renounce one word “Busy” and then see, wonders happen. Give your whole on what you work for and worry not for anything.

Remember always “No one is freaking busy in this world.”

Keep smiling and stay blessed.
