Sunday Reflection: Back To Simplicity

Family what's good with ya? It's your Hustleman back for another Sunday Reflection. For my new readers this is my official off day of the week. I try not to do anything major. Just catch up on a few things, especially rest and relaxation. Facing burn out syndrome over the past week or so I've decided to ease up a bit on things but I'm still here with you. The weekend was uneventful, which was good. I'm just trying to conserve energy right now and stay focused. Overall this week went by so fast, I looked up and it was Saturday! Anyhow, how did your week go? As usual, I hope all is well with you.

After a conversations with Mz Nici Nicole on my burn out feelings, she actually helped me to remember how many hats I wear per day. I mean seriously we all do. In one day we can be employees, managers, bosses, parents, friends, wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, students, teachers, counselors, daughters or sons, and so on and so on... you get my point.

The reason this is so interesting to me, as it has always been, is because alot of people switch roles (or hats) in their life and don't give it a second thought. When I began hustling I made it a point to create a new role for myself. One dedicated to making a profit. Often times though I do forget to take this hat off so to speak.

I mean seriously, I encompass so many roles throughout my day that I'm beginning to realize that I have broken one of my own rules. It's amazing how someone can help you realize something you've overlooked isn't it? That broken rule is to keep things simple. I'm doing a little too much and that within itself isn't the problem. I have plenty of time to do everything I need to do, but I haven't kept all the things I do simple. I'm pretty sure some of you out there have this same problem. Life is in fast forward and we are always playing catch up.

So what am I going to do about it? Well first I'm going to look at what needs adjusting (which will probably be everything), and then set about to streamline what I do, when I do it and how I do it. Sounds easy, but often times easy things aren't, feel me? Our time is a tool and a great equalizer. Everyone has the same amount given per day. And how we use it determines where we'll end up and what we'll become.

Anyone who knows me, knows I hate wasting time. So thanks to this wisdom that's been found again I can get myself back on track and possibly prevent fututre burn out effects. I'm telling you Fam, just to sit back with a pen and paper and track how you spend your time will shock the hell out of you. And if you're a person that's constantly in motion like myself, you'll realize that you spend more time doing the least important things. I'm not sure how this happens but it's life gone wild, it's out of order so I'm making the necessary adjustments.

In the meantime, the roles we all play in life should also be paid attention too. Are you stuck in a role that isn't adding to the value of your life? Or perhaps you spend a little too much time in a role when other things in your life need a little attention too? I honestly accept that many relationships and marriages deteriorate or end because of this reason. Little attention into the relationship role and more into everything else. Just an observation, leave a comment and let me know what you think about the subject. I'm curious.

So Fam, life is truly a great teacher, if you're a good student. Your Hustleman is still learning and growing as we all are. And all in all, it's a beautiful thing. Much love Fam keep it moving and keep it simple. That's my new motto. Be back with you all soon.
