Priority & Robbing

If one is too busy for something (given over a period of time to 'make time for it') its either a case of 1) priorty i.e. one thing more important than the other, since we cant have it all, or 2) a robbery i.e. achieving things at the expense of others/sacrificing time that they should use for others. Priority issue comes when we are faced with scarcity (which we face everyday everwhere!) and therefore we give preference to do one thing and not the other, or the other late. Sometimes its inevitable but often than not, its the heart that matters most.. because truly if there's a will there's a way. For example, if you cannot do it today you have tomorrow, you have the day after ..If not this week, you have next week, or week after, if not this month, you have month after and year after so forth .. It's all about planning. And who says plans don't work!? Don't buy that story!!! As for robbery... yes, when one can do something with someone here and today, he or she could have done it with another there and then too, but choses not too for whatever million reasons .. so you rob the time that the other person deserves.. which of course results in 'what goes around comes around' one fine day .. The most important thing is to realize and give a deep thought to these things in life, and reset our priorities in life and not rob someone else's well deserved time.

More often that not, we also take things for granted without realizing it, esp. if we're so occupied with things closest to us. That's why its utmost important to cherish it when someone close (or not so close) expresses his or her dissatisfaction or concern about your current act, for only true family and friends would give you such negative comments. Others will just let you rot, cont to make mistakes and keep creating negative karma ..

Alternatively, you can pop a question to people who are close to you .. 'Hey, what do you think I can do to be a better person?' .. 'Share with me what you think of my weaknesses, I'd like to improve' .. I am sure you will agree with me, we often do not do this self-appraisal, can you imagine, our bosses have this for us every year!!!
