Wow!
This is awe-inspiring. You touched things that really matter.
We often hear people say this “I've been busy”, myself at times, but to what end? What have we really been busy with? We can be busy with the things that destroy us. So it's not about being busy, but doing what?
I like how you highlighted the things that matter and where our busyness should be channeled to. And honestly, if it isn't in the direction of the things you mentioned, we are missing out. Many are not in any way walking towards purpose or the things that matter but are extremely busy.
I picked some important points here...
We were active (we moved), but we weren't effective (we didn't accomplish anything). We were busy (we did a lot) but we weren't focused (which means we accomplished very little)...
How easily we can convince ourselves that "being busy" means "being productive."
If your busyness isn't contributing to your growth, your peace, or your purpose, then it's time to take a step back and refocus...
I think this is a call to refocus and “be busy” with the things that matter. It's a call to discipline!
