Everyone I meet these days seems to have the same reply for "How are you?" The stock answer of "Fine" does not even apply any more.
Ask people how they are and count how many say, "Busy".
Busy seems to define our importance. Many times we even expand on 'busy' and tell all about our busyness. We can't keep in contact with other human beings because we are 'busy'.
Take the word 'busy' out of your vocabulary and dig deep in the recesses of your soul and ask yourself, "How am I REALLY?"
When you meet people and are ready to spout out the words, "How are you?", rephrase your question this way:
"BESIDES busy...how are you?"
I tried this when I saw a familiar face in Panera Bread a couple of days ago. The girl I asked this question got a perplexed look on her face and replied, "Busier".
Are you too busy to know how you are? Are you losing yourself in the 'busyness' of life? Are you too busy to be you? Take some of the busyness out of life, and put more of the 'life' back in life!
