Doing it ALL

What if the key to happiness was to accept the obvious: we can pressure ourselves until we loose sleep, fill our days to the brim, run non stop from one appointment to the next, we will never have enough time to do it ALL. We will never have enough time to keep a clean house, be a company CEO, play in the mud with our children AND find pleasure in all those things. Never enough time to become a famous writer, a seasoned gardener, a virtuose pianist AND an astronaut. Never enough time to live an infinity of lives in one, to focus on EVERYTHING, simultaneously.

Just because we are neither immortals, nor supercomputers. What if, by taking some time (!) to grieve this, we freed our daily capacity to CHOOSE? If, paradoxically, in this acceptance, our grip around precious time relaxed, bringing back the feeling of abundance born from the ability to give things up, to better enjoy the time we do have? Giving oneself time to truly live their lives, instead of just filling it.
