Sometimes, you are torn between different things you must do. People around you expect things to be in their order, and to have directions. As a person, you can only do enough with the time given to you. Many times, if we are face with a challenge, we procrastinate and hope it will go away knowing it will not. More often than that, you have two choices to decide. You pause and look at the two choices. One can be an obligation and the other one a pleasure for self interests. You begin to think of many reasons why you cannot do your obligation and do the other one until it hits you. You decide where you are needed the most? If we can only see the simple reasons why we are here in this world, then we will not have headaches or sickness trying to decide which direction we will take in the every day tasks we face.
You are busy for a reason. Learn to value it.
