Being busy is now trendy. We here this from a lot of people, as they are trying to impress the others by engaging in a few behaviors that might give an impression of them as being hard working people. However, not everybody is actually achieving that are trying to achieve, though they put countless hours working, sweat and effort.Rocks and stones also move, but they rarely achieve anything by those movements. This can be said the same about different people that simply engage in tasks that do not send them closer to their goals, but are merely excuses of not dealing with the few uncomfortable ones that seem to be frightening. They can be afraid of being as people who have failed, and so they simply try to protect the magnificent image that the others have about him.
It is true that you might not be able to achieve big goals and dreams in a short period of time, because that is simply impossible. However, you should at least be able to achieve your sub goals that are part of that big dream that you have, and not simply do wishy-washy tasks that are not sending you to the destination that you have envisioned about yourself.
Moreover, you should also not compare progress with these little movements. These up and down movements from one task to the other are not the same as the progress that is achieved by deliberately acting on those few sub goals that you have.
We can have different priorities throughout our lives that vary depending from different circumstances. However, these priorities should be usually things that inspire us to take action that will send us to a better destination in comparison to the stage of the life that we currently live in. If you are satisfied with the current life that you have, then that should serve as an incentive for you to help others as well.
