DeepThinking - The Art of Inactivity

How many times in a day do you undecide? Undeciding is the present participle of undecide, but my spellchecker doesn't recognize either of them! Which is all to say that it is not in common usage word. Why is that? People do what they know - I do what I know. I get up, there's a message, I decide to respond. Now I am asking: what would happen if I didn't respond? How about I just delete it? What comes up for me is "rudeness, being impolite, being tardy" but perhaps this is a good thing. Those who know me understand that is not who I am. Those who don't know me will find out if they need to. It puts me into a "strangeness of feeling" = that place where all real change occurs. I need to know: What decides that you undecide? You need to know what's important and what's not. Have you ever thought that through? My guess - if you are in the normal rush of life like me - is no. What is important is hidden when it comes to being successful at anything. It seems obvious. It's not. The 80|20 principle - when you truly embrace this fact of life - will show that a very small number of your actions produce the great majority of your joy. A loving message, a generous act takes very little time, but the effect on another person can be huge. Even life changing. The same is true in your biz: getting new students. There are only a very few things you do each day that will bring that about - what are they? Write them down. Now - are you focused on them? Or are you often too busy to see the wood from the trees? The art of inactivity is not doing what doesn't need to be done, based on the priorities you created for you. And it means accepting the consequences of that: people's reaction to you; your reaction to you; the oddness of your behaviour… You might feel (and look) lazy. The art of inactivity involves accepting the peaceful, time-rich emptiness that arises once you undecide your way out of the adrenalin high of being busy all the time. Once you have clarity, and focus, you can undecide your way there.
