What i learnt when i hike. Lesson #2 Mind Your Own Business!

You and me, we all have got the same 24 hours every day. Why are there stillpeople begging for more time, others are using it just right and some others has got too much to spend?

During hiking, i couldn't stop talking. Being overwhelmed by the nature, i would talk to Shiya about the flowers, the clouds, the weeds, the stones, the sheep, the children....
For the first ten minutes, i would get some replies of acknowledgement. And slowly, i realised she could not be bother about me; but i was just keep talking.... maybe to myself or if the guide could understand me. When i turned around, Shiya was busy fighting her own war with the flights.

Shiya decided to ignore me... reserving energy for herself. Which is good:)
And we were minding our own business. She was sweating gracefully and i was making my own speech. We were both experiencing body tiredness, fighting with stamina, sudden gushes of cool wind...The fact is, we could not walk the path for each other, not possible.
Each of us has got a business to mend, that's a very personal experience.

Every single one of us has got the same schedule planner; where we will jot down our appointments. Take a look at your own planner, looking at just any one month of the year. How many of these appointments are for yourself, and how many of them are for others?

Though we are blessed with 24 hours a day, most of us like to give away part of our share. Ended up not having enough to reach our goal; and the lucky ones would have few more extra hours from others for themselves.

We are all running a business of our own. No other people should be able to tell your how it should be run, for they have their own business to mend too. You have a goal, a direction, a passion, an idea, a thought, a plan and 24 hours a day; now do it.
