I often remember the lyrics of a simple song I sang in a choir, “Always in a hurry, always in a hurry, always in a hurry day and night!” In fact, I can still remember the melody! I never wanted my life to demonstrate those lyrics, but some days I feel like it does! Especially when I’m trying to get a project all the way done, usually with self-imposed deadlines. For anyone who has raised children, those lyrics may describe many of your days and nights! But we do have choices. Our busyness is not a badge of honor and life doesn’t have to be filled with activities every second of the day.
The idea of enjoying life while staying focused can feel like an impossible balancing act. Yet, the ability to both savor some of the moments of life and remain on course with our personal and professional goals isn’t just desirable—it’s essential. Without the ability to laugh and take ourselves less seriously, we can become dry, mundane and even boring! So how do we keep our focus while taking time to enjoy more of life? Here we will approach four principles that serve as good reminders.
