we know you’re busy. now shut up about it.
October 23, 2009 by Master-User

“So sorry, I’ve been busy.”
“I’m just so busy with…”
“I’ve been too busy too…”
Busy? Get in line.
If I ever tell you that, “I’m so sorry that I’ve been too busy to…” then I’ll pay $500 bucks to your favourite charity and get you a year supply of Haagen Dazs bars. Of course I’m busy. That’s life. That’s my life. That’s most people’s lives. Grown up humans tend to be…busy. Add kids, or business start ups, or illness into the mix and you have…much more of life to be busy about.
“I’m just so busy,” is the typically gasping, rushed, whiny refrain that’s become a contemporary anthem. It doesn’t make us look more important, it makes us look just-this-side-of-frazzled. It’s typically used as a lite apology, an excuse, a duck-out, as if your Life Master is making you do stuff that you don’t want to do. Even as a well-intended social pleasantry, “Sorry, I’ve been busy,” has a little victim ring to it.
Whatever is on your plate got there because you said yes to it – in the fullness of ambition and desire and wanting to eat life whole. Sometimes we take on to-do’s and commit to climb mountains because our soul demands it. Sometimes life throttles us with unforeseen and unrelenting demands. Sometimes busyness is the result of keeping up with the Joneses. Busy can be good. Busy can be bad. Busy is most often a choice.
The “busier than our predecessors…age of technology…workaholic culture,” argument. I don’t buy it. Yes, we appear to be more compulsive, less nuclear, and surviving on less sleep than the pioneers, but their lives were just as packed. They were extremely busy planting potatoes and raising barns, and surviving from sunup to sundown (they got more sleep than we average because, a) they didn’t have the luxuries that light bulbs afford, and b) they did physically exhausting work.) The fifties housewife was just as busy. Before eco-evil but ever-so-handy tools like disposable diapers, the Swifer and microwaves, June Cleaver had to work it.
“Sorry, I’ve been busy,” is often used to appease busy-bodies. – the kind of people who email you to double check if you got their email from yesterday, or their thank you note.
So what do you tell ‘em when you’re late? When you can’t fit another moment into your daytimer, when you have to send regrets, or pass on a sweet opportunity? Tell them the truth. Report on life, rather than whining about it. Deliver it with ease or with pride if you’re inclined. “Been in five cities in four weeks. The kid’s all had the flu. It’s tax season, you know.” Let people meet you in your clear truth rather than your apologetic panic.
And sometimes, many times, you don’t need to excuse yourself at all. Just show up. Present and accountable, full of life and it’s demands. We all understand.
we know you’re busy. now shut up about it.

Conquer Fears in the Way of Dreaming the Big Dream
October 2, 2009 by Master-User
Filed under Inspiration
As we walk along our path in life, it can be easy to get into the comfort of our routine, denying our deepest desires. In dreaming the big dream, many of us struggle because our fears come creeping in. Instead we either make small goals or we fail to dream at all. I am going to dare to you claim what you want, despite the fear or as I like to call it… your monsters! It is time to conquer those fears in the way of dreaming the big dream. Are you ready?
Now, when claiming the dream, 2 things to keep in mind:
1. If the dream doesn’t scare you, it is not big enough
2. You should not know the HOW of how it will manifest itself.
Here are the top 4 fears aka monsters that may appear:
1. “What happens if I fail it at?”
Dare to live the dream. Keep focused on the end result. Ask the universe/inner knowing for guidance and signs. Take action when you get it, even if it doesn’t make sense (and it probably will not). Reflect and learn the lessons as you go so you don’t keep repeating the same pattern. And if you don’t achieve it right away, at least you are much closer than you were a year ago. Keep going and it is just a matter of time.
2. “What happens if I tell people what I am going to do and it doesn’t manifest? I don’t want to be embarrassed or look stupid”
What is more important? Conforming to limiting beliefs of others so you can be accepted and then being miserable that you aren’t living your dreams? OR Daring to stand out from the crowd (in which case you will attract new friends who DO have more open beliefs) and having a shot at living your purpose and being happy?
3. “I am afraid to dream because I have been disappointed in the past.”
That is the past. You do not have to keep repeating it. Instead of seeing these as disappointments, start to ask yourself these questions, “What did I learn from those experiences? How can I do things differently this time?”
4. “I think it is impossible.”
Every time you think this thought, ask yourself these questions, “Has anyone else is this world, achieved what I want? Has anyone else had major obstacles to overcome, but still found a way to achieve success? Has there ever been a time in my life when I felt like I was trapped or something was impossible, but somehow in the end it all worked out?” Journal your responses and review them whenever you have doubt.
Okay now dare to claim the dream. When those monsters appear, acknowledge and kiss them goodbye. You can accomplish anything!

Live Life to the Fullest – The Importance of Self Growth
September 1, 2009 by
Filed under Inspiration
Life can quickly go from steady and predictable to fast-paced and stressed in a matter of minutes. As our life evolves, so must we! Whether it is your personal life or work life, self growth and self improvement is an important route to helping you deal with the stress of change and instead accept the natural life alterations ahead.
Self growth is about being true to yourself and thinking about what your main priorities in life should be. It is about learning new skills, knowledge and ways to help you get ahead personally and professionally. When you invest in self growth and self improvement, you also invest in your future and gain the confidence and inner strength required to take you to the peak of success and happiness.
Of course priorities change as time marches on, and so examining your goals and priorities on a regular basis will help paint a clear picture of where you wish to be and how you can use your abilities to your best advantage. Here are five tips to help you better understand yourself and help you lead your life to the fullest.
Be Positive!
Having a positive attitude and outlook on life is extremely important for self growth and self improvement. Negative and positive experiences are a part of life, and it is important to learn from each experience we encounter. For example, if you attempted to open a small business and failed miserably, don’t let that experience deter you from trying again. What you should do is learn from the mistakes you made with that business to help you succeed with the next.
Learn from the Past
The last point brings me to this one. Learn from past choices to help you improve yourself for the future. If everything we did in life lead to perfection, we wouldn’t be learning anything would we? Life would actually be quite boring! I personally feel that in order to succeed, you must fail. Of course this doesn’t have to mean failing miserably, but making mistakes and learning from them is a part of a fulfilling life and important to the self growth process.
One Step at a Time
Yes multi tasking is a fantastic skill, but you do risk losing focus, attention and interest in all by the end. The problem with multi tasking is that if you take on too much, you burn out. Take one goal or project at a time and learn from it. Once you complete one goal or project, go on to the next. For example, if you have made it your goal to learn the power of social media marketing, begin by signing up for one social networking site. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn; learning one site first will help you become familiar with the world of social media, and gain valuable contacts who can then help you learn what else is available when you are ready.
Listen to Others
Sometimes self growth begins with the growth story of another. Yes you read that correctly! Every person around us has a story and it can benefit ourselves to hear their story. If you dream of opening a small business, seek the advice of someone who has. This person will have learned from common mistakes and will help steer you in the right direction. You will be able to gain new information and valuable advice to help you grow into the small business owner you hope to be.
Welcome Change with Open Arms
When you change, you grow. It’s that simple. And when you know how to accept change and grow with change, you are well on your way to personal responsibility and success.
