the DailyOM

I have a million posts spinning around in my mind - a To-Do List, Five (or maybe 25) Good Things, and what I think will be a series of posts inspired by many of you. This morning I have had an aha! and aha! that feels so good, so right, so perfect that I am feeling absolutely peaceful. This is the peace that comes from knowing, from resolution, from the moment when understanding pervades. I had learned over the years though, that tis best to allow these moments to gain ground before spitting them out again...and so, for the moment, I offer you the pasted post below. I am receive the DailyOm in my email each morning (thanks to Cynthia for turning me on to this one!) and today's message seemed timely, and thus, I share it with you while my moment grows so that I can share. I hope you enjoy it - it certainly spoke to me in the midst of my moment. ~Lee

Taking The Time Needed

Sagittarius Daily Horoscope

Your schedule can become a source of stress today if it is overloaded with appointments, errands, and activities. Should you attempt to address every duty on your roster of tasks, you may discover that your performance falters and that you wind up frustrated and fatigued. Though you may want to accomplish all of your commitments, serenity may be found in paring down your to-do list and devoting yourself to the most important objectives. A quick assessment of your agenda can show you that many items marked vital can actually be put off or worked on slowly over the long term. Concentrating on only those items that must be seen to immediately today can help you prosper in your personal and professional lives without feeling frantic.

When we recognize that there are limits to what we can accomplish in a certain span of time, we can make the most of every second of every day without feeling burnt out or exhausting ourselves in the process. Many people believe that pushing themselves ever harder is the only way to attain success, yet trying to meet unrealistic expectations can leave us incapable of achieving even the simplest objectives. Approaching the goal-realization process with a mind-set of practicality enables us to prioritize the items on our agendas, ensuring that we always have adequate time to address those tasks important to us. Gradually, we learn which activities are vital and which can be left until another day. As you consider your schedule realistically today, your priorities will become clear.
