PRECIOUS TIME.

Today Im forcing myself to breeeeeeeeathe.

Rebellious, I know.

Life around here has been happening at a hyper- intergalactic speed straight out of a George Lucas film. I'll be the first one to admit my "life/work" balance is way out of whack and basically there is no balance to it at all. I love what I do and I love dedicating all of my efforts to caring for my clients and their memories, however Im learning the lesson that comes with overworking and burning myself out.

At the risk of sounding like an 80 year old person reflecting on their life gone by, Im starting to believe the greatest gift you, or I or anyone can give is of our time. Our precious time.

My time, my hours, my days that will appear and egress as a fleeting blur, is really all there is to life. Our lives are simply made up of a million tiny moments that fuse together and create our own unique life story. So believing and accepting this concept, also means I'll have to better organize my priorities and reassess the value I place on my time.

I mean really...how much is your time worth to you? If you knew you would cease to exist as of tomorrow, how valuable would every second become? Invaluable I assume.

Thats how Im feeling. That as much as I want to dedicate every waking hour to growing, developing and perfecting my business - my synergy is off and Im missing out on so much of my personal life. The life of just plain old Amanda.

I don't want to be one of those folks who wish for more hours in a day... I want to be someone who understands and exercises the beauty that is balance or as close to that concept as I can get. This is my newest and most paramount goal. Breeeeeeeeaaaaathe.
