"the biggest killer of relationships is busy."
Kendra Fleming is a really great leader i've respected for several years. i've always valued any conversations or time i've been able to spend with her and always learn a lot. when she said this last week i thought it was a great bottom line summary of what our lives often look like.
"busy" is our enemy.
and we're always busy.
but you can't begin, cultivate, deepen, restore, or even ENJOY relationships in the middle of busy.
no, you need margin to do that.
i need less busy and more margin.
and i'm getting there.
because relationships are more important than busy.
busy sucks.
busy is the enemy.
relationships are our friends. literally :)
and when we look back on life 20 years from now & 40 years from now i am CONVINCED...
relationships will make us smile
and
busy will make us frown (or maybe even cry)
relationships will be our greatest memories
and
busy will be our greatest regret
