190. Are You the Right Kind of Busy? 3 W...

Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

The kabbalists teach that we are given enough time to fulfill our purpose, but only just enough. Which means it behooves us to continuously reassess what fills our time. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss how to focus on the kind of busyness that brings us closer to our highest potential, how to assess if we are wasting time being busy on the things that ultimately won’t fulfill us, and helpful changes we can start making towards a more positive and soul fulfilling busyness.
