Personal Development - Gems of Wisdom

We live in a world of digital time, we need to rush just to get through our hectic days. We celebrate and can't wait for the week to end, thanking God it's Friday (TGIF!), we quickly react rather than reflect. We skim across the surface and pretend that we can listen while simultaneously answering our text messages.We have brief moments (at dozens of destinations), but we rarely remain in one place long enough to get to know people. We race through our lives without pausing to consider who we really want to be, or where we really want to go.We are wired up with cellphones and the latest gadgets but yet we are melting down. Most of us are trying to do our best, but our best is never enough. There is always a strong demand that exceeds our capacity.We try to survive on too little sleep thinking that this is the way of life. Sleep seemingly gets in the way, we wolf down fast food and fuel up with coffee and many of us cool ourselves down with alcohol and sleeping pills afterwards.Faced with so many challenges and demands at work, we become short-tempered and easily distracted.We return home from long hours of work feeling exhausted and we often experience our family not as a source of joy, but as another demand in an already over burdened life. Is this the life we want? Please take a moment to ponder!"Energy, not time is the fundamental currency of high performance"Performance, health and happiness are grounded in the skillful management of our energy.
