The True Meaning Behind Too Busy | Others Over Self®

Hey, friends. Shelly here. When is the last time you heard the phrase too busy? Gosh, I would love to get together with you, but you know what? I've just been so busy. Oh, I'm sorry for not responding to your email sooner. I've been so busy. Does any of that sound familiar? Well, let's take this to the deeper level. Whose voice is C saying that phrase? Did you just think, oh, that sounds like me, or did you hear the voice of someone else? I'm asking because earlier this week I came across the saying, busy is the new happy? Is it? Because I'm not so sure that we're feeling very happy about all of the things that are keeping us busy. Or how about this phrase? No one is too busy to tell you just how busy they are. Okay, one more phrase about being too busy. This one we're giving credit to. Steve Mirabili, who says that it's about priorities. When someone tells you they are too busy, it's not a reflection of their schedule. It's a reflection of your spot on their schedule. So the next time you hear the phrase too busy on the tip of your tongue or it's being used by another person, take the time to dig a little bit deeper into the meaning behind why that phrase is being used. See you next time. And until then, remember that the needs of others are always greater than your own. See you soon.
