Whats your motivation for staying busy and refusing to stop and be still? I am busy because I am, by nature, a reluctant lazy ass. I am busy because I am vain . I want to appear important. Significant. What better way than to be busy? The incredible hours, the crowded schedule, and the heavy demands of my time are proof to myself–– and to all who will notice— that I am important. I live in a society in which crowded schedules and harassed conditions are evidence of importance, so I develop a crowded schedule and harassed conditions. When others notice, they acknowledge my significance, and my vanity is fed. I am busy because I am lazy. I indolently let others decide what I will do instead of resolutely deciding myself…. It was a favorite theme of C. S. Lewis that only lazy people work hard. By lazily abdicating the essential work of deciding and directing, establishing values and setting goals, other people do it for us. Scazzero, Peter (2013-03-26).
