I love this quote because it's so true! Society (and the Media) teaches us that we are suppose to be "busy" if we are to be successful. We run around all day creating lots of motion but what is really getting done? In most cases, very little, if anything.As I told my cousin this week: It's all just NOISE!
- Think about all the NOISE in your life.
- Think about all the chatter we do/hear without accomplishing a single beneficial thing.
- Think about how much is said but never done.
- Think about our definition of success. Do we have the right definition of success?
- Think about all those "busy" activities but really don't get meaningful things done.
Instead of measuring success by how "busy" we are or how many minutes we talk on cell phones or how much NOISE we can make; let's really look at what gets accomplished.
Time for an audit! Enough of my NOISE; let's get something done. Do this: Take out a piece of paper and write down the meaningful things you have accomplished this year.
This 1 cent piece of paper and 10 minutes of your quiet time will rock your world!
Depressing isn't it? Today is day 299 this year and there has been a ton of waste. But don't focus on the negative as that is the problem. You see, most of us tend to focus on the NOISE (negative) and not Accomplishments (positive). Here is the good news: You now have this rock your world piece of paper and 66 days to make some progress! Start today making progress. Stop today making NOISE.
Let's stop the madness and NOISE and actually start getting things done in our life!
Times a wastin' ......so lets start getting things done! (Also keep your piece of paper as we are going to do another audit in 66 days to see how much more we got done after this exercise!)
