Insightful Influencers: Stop Being A Busy Fool - Paul D. Lowe & Sharon Griffiths

Paul is joined by Sharon Griffiths, a.k.a. The Curious Connector, to talk about why people need to stop being busy for the sake of being busy, especially if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing. Sharon used to be busy trying to achieve her goals but, when she was forced to stop, she realised she was in a space she didn’t want to be. There was something missing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Populating our diaries from dawn ‘til dusk might make us feel important and significant, but it also makes you a slave to the diary. Perhaps saying to yourself ‘I don’t want to be trapped in a situation’ what you do is get busy to apply the principle of deferred gratification to get to where we want to be. By becoming a published author helped me to focus on something bigger than me; helping people through sharing my experiences and wisdom. To get things out into the world is a pleasure and a catharsis. If you can create a space in time where you can just be, that gives you more space to decide what’s really important to you. When you move forward out of that space you can do what is best for you which means you can serve yourself and other more and be in the flow to enable you to do even more. BEST MOMENTS ‘As a busy man you see and hear, but do you feel?’ ‘Take control back, business should serve us not the other way around.’ ‘If we tell ourself we’re a busy fool we’ll be a busy fool.’ ‘Feedback is the breakfast of the gods.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group ABOUT THE GUEST Sharon Groffiths trained as a secondary school teacher as well as teaching reflexology and massage.
