HELP! I'M TOO BUSY- "Lord, Free Me From The Tyranny of the Urgent"

                                                      Has the word busy become a negative way of decribing your life?

You have no time to do the things that are important; always rushed into the urgent (most of us are). You'll enjoy this post!

                  






  Psalm 23, Antithesis

The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest.

It makes me lie down only when exhausted.

It leads me to deep depression.

I hounds my soul.

It leads me in circles of frenzy for acitvity's sake.

Even though I run frantically from task to task,

I will never get it all done,

For my "ideal" is with me.

Deadlines and my need for approval, they drive me.

They demand performance from me, beyond the limits of my schedule.

They annoint my head with mygraines.

My in-basket overflows.

Sure fatigue and time pressure shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the bonds of frustration forever.
