CONFESSIONS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR  
 
Live a Little. No, Live A Lot!

 

About a month ago I had gotten to the place where I was working long hours, just busy, busy, busy! Being a very intuitive person, I listen to my body when it tells me it's time to take a break. I've learned over the years that my world won't fall apart if I don't accomplish every task today, right now.
 
I do myself and my family a disservice when I rush through life never present, but consumed with thoughts of the future. Being present requires focus. In the present there is peace, rest, beauty, joy, and health. It's my choice whether or not I receive these gifts. As entrepreneurs, yes we wear numerous hats and have lots to accomplish in a single day. However, we don't have to sacrifice peace of mind or our relationships with our children, spouses, and ourselves in the process! Work towards your future but don't neglect living for today. Take time each day to just be present and witness how much more efficient and loving you become.

Please share your thoughts on my confession and/or share one of your own on the Grant Source Blog.
