There's a new trend of celebrating hectic trading as the ultimate.
Being busy means being important. One's agenda needs to overflow with appointments until it can be considered a 'real' agenda. Decisions need to be made instantly, there's no time to think, evaluate, ponder.
It has to be NOW.
Free-time is only for the weak, vacations are booked by losers. Who needs a break if one can work until he breaks down? It's an unhealthy trend.
Human effort is not appreciated anymore the way it should be. Work has become a challenge that's hard to win for someone who's not made of steel and cables.
We're running, rushing, ripping through life as if this was a race rather than an opportunity.
Here's my today's advice for you:
It's not being busy what makes us happy, it's being fulfilled.
Much love,

I never understood why people rushing so much for obviously no reason! That's why I like South East Asia, even if sometimes one can get irritated by how slow his food is served or maintenance working, you can also feel the difference with european society burning itself alive! Everybody wants a lot of money they dont even know where to spend for, or some stupid things like the latest model of iphone or the car.That's where my great hope on cryptocurrencies come from :) I really hope we are living in the new era and people wont spoil their lifes for something they dont even really want :)
Thanks for the insight, Luke! As you know, I completely share your perspective in that context and left Europe for exactly this reason.
In the middle of the rush, many people have lost their susceptibility to things that really make life worth living.
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are meant to bring back self-control to our own lives. So theoretically they will provide us with tools that help us to spend our resources more wisely - and especially to spend them for our own benefit and not the benefit of others.
As long as we're aware, we still have the control.
Enjoy your day, well at your place the night though :-)
Busy in a bus or lacking luck you poke to pluck a pick-up truck.
Utterly shocked you choke in the lock and check if you chuck a buck or if you are stuck in the muck.
So you should lurk in a day like this in such a murky lucky way.
In a day when you don't know if you laugh or cry...
Errands wait for those who are late in the busiest day.
Such day that defies all your senses and makes you to enjoy........
Go out of home and enjoy!!!!
Wow, truly love this!!!
Thank you very much for sharing it here @pitter.
Also I'll be doing exactly what they're doing on the upcoming weekend :-)
If I can see such beautiful ladies every vacation, then I would love to have vacation everyday :)
Its really makes me feel better keep it up
I'm happy to hear that! That's my mission :-))
I want more like that because when i read that post and saw the picture... It's awesome ... waiting for more
Actually many things are responsible for such rushy life. Number one is to feed yourself means you have to have good job to earn and second is complexity. Some other key factors are there but there are few people who get to know the worth of free time of leasure. Yes good advice dont be too rushy just be slow and steady, everything will fall on its place on the right time.
That's true, we need to earn a living. Yet, work has become a synonym for working oneself into the ground. There are no limits anymore. Human labour is not appreciated enough. By clearly defining our personal limits we're able to keep our value high. That's why we need to demand breaks, vacations, free-time. We have a right to have such downtimes.
Yes exactly we have a right to have downtimes, breathing in fresh air. Everything should be managed and to be in desired ratio.
Love the photo! And great advice. People tend to forget and rush every day for the sake of rushing sometimes. Enjoy your day!
Aaaw, thanks for the compliment @travelgirl! It's one of these pictures that spread 100% summery feelings :-) Enjoy your day, too!!!
That’s a great trade in my book! :-)
"We each have 24 hours in a given day,how we choose to spend each moment determines how spent we are!!!!
Nicely said.
Also: getting barelled is one of my lifetime-dreams, so thanks for the reminder :-)
Without realizing our life has taken us by the fast way the last years. I think we have to take advantage of every moment to stand out in our different areas without neglecting our family and personal life. Life there is only one
I couldn't agree more!
Most of the time people recognize how valuable their life is, once it's coming to its end... We better realize what a great opportunity we're given while we're still able to fully enjoy it :-)
Thanks for stopping by @hasbydiaz!
Very insightful post. “You will never grow to your fullest potential unless you plant seeds of joy, love, fulfillment, hope, and success. Nature can only return to you what you plant.” Anonymous
Oh, that's a nice one, too! Thanks for stopping by and sharing it with us :-)
Now enjoy the upcoming weekend @team101
have a amazing dayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
an awesum advice :)
True to that,always quality over quantity!!!!
I think you have a good point here. As a general rule, I would say it is better to invest your time in quality activities rather than just quantity. I think that when it comes to progressing with life goals:
I personally do not multitask. I take my time to plan out my week and then tackle one objective at a time. This reduces my stress so much and allows to give 100% of my mental energy to what I do at a given time.
I am just starting to live like that altrough i have wife and a daughter
Is this true? Those who had "world' enough, that is, those engaged in a demanding daily vocation, were short of time while those without regular obligations had more than sufficient time, but no world?
it's really better your life
keep it up my friend
photography also good @surfermarly
Sometimes we get so busy with our daily lives we do not take the steps and time necessary to be introspective.
Among everything we need to enjoy single moment of our life.
i think u had great fun in life stay blessed
Sometimes we forget there's a whole world out there.
Our lives become consumed with tasks and work, to the point we let each day pass without even recognizing it.
Take a breath. Relax for a moment. See the world outside of our own.
From the beautiful sunrise peaking over the water.
If you want to be successful in life, you have to prioritize your personal relationships--your bond with your friends and family members. No matter how much you want to be successful and climb the corporate ladder quickly, you can't neglect your friends and family to do it.
If you don't spend your free time like this, it doesn't mean you have no chance of being successful. However, picking up some of these strategies can improve your abilities, improve your mindset, and expand your network to levels that will increase your chances for success in the workplace. Start incorporating a few of them into your free time routines and you might just be surprised at the results.
We should enjoy our life with some break.
Because this is the purpose we are “created for”. Our matter is a desire, to receive as much pleasure for ourselves as possible. Thus if we can't fulfill insatiable, ever growing desire for pleasure we suffer and live a miserable life. So we need to learn how to accept, receive pleasures perfectly so we can enjoy life.
I agree with you.
You say right.
"Slow down and everything you are chasing will come arround and catch you. "
Thanks for your motivational speech .
I appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing the post @surfermarly
That's Interesting post sir
So true. I'm happy to see that you are setting the trend for living a full life!!!!
I Like Your This Sentence "Free-time is only for the weak" I think its good quote.
"Human effort is not appreciated anymore the way it should be."- it's unfortunately a bitter truth of our times. Again and again I am convinced of this every time 😒😒😒.
Never thought of it that way while in ways you are telling the truth.
We should enjoy the time and have the some moment for us only .
thanks for the new blog. that is great and nice photography.
Wow this photography looking so cool
you are a great photographer, thanks for sharing..
Marly.. i wish it is practical to me on what you are saying. I wish i can just let go everything and to be happy. But life, economy has been design cruely for us to attach more to it everyday.
Happiness is sometime that ‘little break’
Get good at doing what you love, and you will be rewarded.
I guess it's not bad to take a vacation sometimes right? These crypto race really made a lot of people busy nowadays with profit and loss. Quite stressful but quite needed too.
I agree ! It is important to relax once and a while however if you’re doing a job just for an all inclusive 1 week vacay ... find a more passionate and rewarding field. Let’s go - evantures
You just speak the word I needed to hear right now to me.
Honestly, I'm tired and unmotivated about not been rewarded and how things are going, but like you said,it is not about been busy but about been fulfilled.
I'm actually living a fulfilled life, I'm living the life of my choice.
Though one can be discouraged once in a while, but words like this carry enough power to keep one going.
Thanks so much.
"It's not being busy that makes us happy, it's being fulfilled"
i absolutely love that
people need to be aware of the bareness of a busy life
That's what I'm always mentioning to people in dutch. My slogan is like "Alles opt gemaksje" translated in English it sounds like everything at ease.
Trying to teach the kids around the pool from the swimmingteam I'm in this knowledge as well. Kids are really busy those days... 🤔
Son realmente ciertas tus palabras amiga @surfermarly muchas personas tienden a ser muy apresuradas ansiosa quizás pero no entiendo porque si la vida es algo grandioso y hay que vivirla sin preocupaciones.
Many are responsible for such a lively life. Feeding yourself to the number one means that you have good work to earn. There are some other basic reasons, but there are a few people who can know the value of leasure's free time.

It is the proverbial difference between working for a living and living for work.
What good could it be to have "the good life" if you don't have time to live it?
Guess I never felt that drive to work that much at the expense of all else. But I have worked a lot, and continue to do so. Just not for the sake of it, or the prestige of it, but for the time it will eventually give me, just like it has before.
I went from working over 80 hours a week doing every aspect of the newspaper I owned to 12 hours a week, give or take, because others were doing the work I was doing before, and in most cases doing it better. Win-win.
I don't plan to hire out my Steemit work, so this won't end exactly the same, but at some point, I believe I will be able to step back again and enjoy the life to its fullest. That is, if my wife will let me. :)
that is for sure a really good advice but you know that to achieve that it takes a lot of work and sometimes a lot of time. I am on the works for that to happen for 6 years now! lol and it looks I still have a long way to get there :(
That’s a great trade in my book! :-)
