How being busy makes you lose heart When we are short on time, this scarcity extends to our heart as well. We automatically say, “I’m busy—I don’t have time.” When we feel this way, our mind becomes even more hectic. But are we really so busy? Aren’t we the ones who are pushing ourselves to hurry? In Japanese, the character for “busy” is written with the symbols for “lose” and “heart.” It’s not that we are busy because there isn’t enough time. We are busy because there is no room in our heart.
