Hi lea, 

Thanks for the mail and call its always nice to know that people can find time to keep in touch.

I can really relate to your hectic life style that seems to the norm over there now.

But even as slow as things are here people never really seem to have time (and/or money) to do what they really want to do.

I think the key is knowing REALLY what is important to you, your deepest most profound values, the things things that truly bring you joy and then prioritizing all your actions towards reaching those goals.

Reaching them may or may not be realistic or ever even happen but the knowledge that each day you are taking steps in that direction will give us the motivation and stoke to keep on in enjoyable path thru the maze of life.

Getting real by asking yourself " does this serve my greatest good?" if the answer is no then drop  it. No apologies needed. If the answer s yes then you already have have the gumption to go for it wholeheartedly knowing from your very marrow that what brings you joy is doing your bit to add to the well of joy that that is stockpiled for all to bathe in.

Like any good business manager prioritizing and goal setting is essential to the business of life.

Success can only be measured in the moment in terms of current gross level of happiness.

Let's get real.Jjust be happy rather get stuck on binges of stress and then downtime of slovenly, indulgence, that we think we deserve for the hard slog we put it simply to exhaust ourselves in pursuit of of some unfulfillable cause.

Sounds all good but it takes the first baby steps before we can realize any truth in it.
