Being busy is just so easy. Anybody can be busy, or act busy for that matter. Somebody told me long time back that a lot of people are just busy, busy without any work. They don't realize that they are just running on a treadmill, without going anywhere. Work never stops, you do one thing and the other things just pops up. You don't get time, you make time. That's why, what is hard is to be free.
To be able to take time out for people, to help random strangers without looking at your watch, to talk in a tone that doesn't seem rushed, to walk in that easy manner, to enjoy all the little things, despite all the work you have, that is what I call being free, in all its meanings.
Being free is an acquired art. I have had the opportunity to work with some brilliant people, and one thing that I have learned is that no matter how much work you have, you always need to be able to make time for what you consider important. It may be family, friends or some hobby you pursue.
So, make time, pursue what defines you, makes you who you are.
