30 minutes of creativity

creativemind.jpg When very busy, we all tend to find excuses for not doing something, even for things that seem essential to our well-being. "I don t have time" , is our usual answer, when friends or family ask us. I have been here too. I mean "busy as hell", completely drained out by my professional obligations, stressed out, and nearly forgetting about enjoying life in itself. It happened to me very recently in the form of a total burn out. My body too was warning me. I am still feeling exhausted, to be honest. But I made an important decision: to now concentrate MORE on my current needs. So I asked myself the following questions: " what am I missing, what do I want and how could I feel better again?" Well- I found a simple answer to complex questions: RECREATE a specific TIME during which I will do exclusively WHAT I LOVE MOST in life:WRITING. 30 minutes of writing, just for me, each day, no matter what. Even the thought of granting myself this recreative time for my mind brought a BIG SMILE back to my lips. 30 minutes a day to grant yourself a special time, just for yourself might look like nothing, yet these 30 minutes added make lots of wonderful hours during a whole year. Think about it. Think about yourself: you are the most important person on earth. Do your best to do more of the things that really make you HAPPY. Life is too short to live on regrets, it has to be ENJOYED every single day

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
