Are We As Busy As We Think We Are?

I ask this question because often we find multiple ways to distract ourselves from being productive.  Under the guise of being too busy, we give ourselves permission to not achieve, not finish things, not begin a project or finish it, etc.  But if we take a good hard look at what we fill our time with, what would we find? 

I read an article recently that said that the average person spends 2 hours and 30 minutes on social media per day.  Coupled with that, another article states that people spend anywhere from 1-4 hours streaming or watching TV per day.

Teach Peace to Have Peace

The first line is one of my favorite quotes... what comes after it is pretty good too.

"The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By teaching peace you must learn it yourself, because you cannot teach what you still dissociate. Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea that you share you must have. It awakens in your mind through the conviction of teaching it. Everything you teach you are learning. Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and you are love." - ACIM
