LIVE FAST, WRITE OFTEN.

Do it on purpose.

Written by Cole Schafer

It's difficult to sit still when you're busy because, well, you're busy. You've got a long list of stuff you should be doing and it's impossible to do this stuff when you're sitting still. So, we don't still. Instead, we stay busy until we die. We create busyness to distract ourselves from our higher calling. Unchecked, this compounds into a life abundant in busyness but scarce in purpose. By sitting still for just ten minutes, at the busiest point in your day, it allows you to slow yourself down long enough to remind yourself of why you are here. Suddenly, all those items that might seem so pressing, fall away like sheets of ice atop a slanted roof amid an exceptionally sunny winter's day.
