You’re busy. I’m busy. Other readers are busy. Your neighbor is busy. So is your boss, your parents, your friends, your co-workers, and the customer service agents you try to reach when one bad thing happens after the other.
(after all, haste makes waste)
I’m surprised you have time to read this, but I will be even more surprised if you take action after reading.
Clearly, everyone is busy. The world is filled with busy people. But don’t you think it’s odd that I don’t say that they are energetic people, or excited people, or people on their venture for success? Nope. Just busy, with “busy” feeling dull, tasteless and a lot like a job you hate.
Becoming a success isn’t about being busy, staying busy, or having been busy. When you ask a successful person what they did, what they are doing, or what they will do, they are ecstatic to share it with you. Every bit of their story, their plans, their to-do’s are drenched in excitement.
(get excited in a haste, it’s the only action that doesn’t make waste)
I see a trend in successful people; they maintain the quality of a child who is always excited and applies it to their schedule. Are they busy? They have a lot to do, but the excitement counters the daft emotions that cling to the idea of being “busy”.
Don’t be busy, be excited. And be excited more often than you are busy.
Stay Positive & Titillated (yea, it’s a word)

Busy is lazy. Saying it, asking about it, being it… all lazy. I love that you brought story into this. If someone asks me how things are going I NEVER say “busy”. I start to tell a story. If they don’t have time to listen they shouldn’t have asked. Either they care, or they don’t. And giving the gift of a few moments of listening is one of the best ways to prove you really do care. Just sayin’
In the end of the conversation, whether it lasts 2 minutes or 20, both parties leave with some form of significance, whether it’s motivation from listneing to someone tell their story, or for the storyteller to keep creating the story.
To each’s success,
