Comments on: THE ART OF DOING NOTHING http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/the-art-of-doing-nothing/ The house, portfolio, Mercedes and the 2.5 kids have been attained – and the question being asked now is, "IS THAT ALL THERE IS?" Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:04:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Louise http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/the-art-of-doing-nothing/#comment-561 Louise Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:12:44 +0000 http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/the-art-of-doing-nothing/#comment-561 This is very important for all of us to do. I have had the curse of "busyness" and often have been chided for never relaxing. Thank you for remininding us of what's important. This is very important for all of us to do.

One of my sons calls it his "Honey Do" day. So many things to do when you have a family! Glad you have solved it for yourself. I am sure you are helping your friend! Dear Mary Beth -

Still. From what I hear taking off in December would be suicide for a broker! Thanks for your always constructive comments! Dear Stephen -

It's a great activity. In fact, it's my favorite activity. However, if one wants to live a life embraced around wisdom, then the key to a life of satisfaction is to know WHEN to do nothing. At the beginning of a person's career, if they seek to end up at the top, doing nothing often equates to lost opportuniies. While I'm comfortable doing nothing, I'm grateful for the driven few who never rest and produce opportunities for a better life for us all. There is nothing wrong with doing nothing.

I have a friend who is 46, has a husband, 4 kids, an intense full time job, 2 homes,a big family and church obligations. I fear for her because now she is headed for menopause and I think it won't be pretty. I know, I was there but I guess we have to get hit over the head before we take time for ourselves. I have always made Sunday my "sabbath" and I think that may be the reason I'm still here. I like you idea and now that I’m older, I can do these things for myself.

As you know, I used to be one! It reminded me of my own vacations that I took in the middle of a busy trading week. Loved the article - it will probably touch a nerve. Lots of people have a hard time doing "nothing." Oh the guilt! LOL Stephen Corrine:
