There is a time to act and a time to rest. A time to make things happen,a time to let things happen. Wisdom is experiencing joy in each, and even more so in the balance.

Rest without seeking distraction brings peace within yourself. I find that if i use my downtime to mediate on whatever is around me, rather than seeking a distraction that I want to happen, the world is a very different place, I have more energy and I’m happier, whereas when I seek distractions and constant busyness, I feel nervous, agitated and like I am always missing something.

I wish I could totaly rest when I had nothing to do, its not an easy thing to manage though, especially when you are busy during the day, it takes time for your mind to settle down, but I agree on the premise of resting whenever you can!

Speaking about “Less”, do you still keep your Galaxy Note 2 or already move on to another? I tend to care unnecessarily about being connected.

and Buddha too mentions of health; he has said the ‘best profit one can have in life is being healthy ( Arogya Parama Laba in Pali). but James you are right whatever they both say or not :-)

hay this is wonderful James! I had 10 days of vacation at home and I played like a kid with my teen daughter and younger son, while I saw lot of my serious adult neighbors were making money and doing other serious stuff. Also for the second time I watched the Star War movies with my two kids. Both disliked the movies by the look of them at the shop. but when I started watching them by myself they moved towards the TV and never stopped until we finish the 5th one.
good stuff James, I quite agree with you like a kid who would readily agree on playing all day long:-)

I agree with most of it except A) Rest when you have nothing to do. Why? Most people are resting when there are was you could occupy your time with productive activity. Today’s modern, lean startup entrepreneurs aren’t just responsible for one thing, they are responsible for virtually everything that goes into and comes out of a company. When I’m not occupied with work to do for clients, I make myself busy. I find new ways to be productive, to engage with readers and followers on social media or I write on my own blog. I try to add value through every activity I do!

In summary, this is a hyper competitive time we live in. Most small businesses are out staffed, out budgeted and would fail if it weren’t for ingenuity and a lot of hard work. I can’t tell you exactly how many times I’ve had nights where I’m lucky if I get four or five hours of sleep. But you know what? It’s worth it, I can account for positive gains and growth. I’m able to make a bigger broader impact than if I just sat back and remained idle. After all… Darth Maul did beat Qui-Gon and subsequently Darth Maul did lose to Obi-Wan (who in my opinion was the most active of the three). I pokes and prods at the door until it opens and rushes out with immense fervor to attack, attack, attack!

Any way, that’s just my two cents for what it’s worth. Enjoy!
