💔 **"Amma, you have forgotten your smile."** 💔


Those 5 words from my son stopped me in my tracks.


I had just walked in from another "productive" day - checking boxes, juggling tasks, feeling important because I was SO BUSY.


But my child saw what I couldn't see: **I was losing myself in the process of trying to achieve everything.**


**That night, I asked myself the hard questions:**

• When did being busy become more important than being present?

• What's the point of building a life if I'm too stressed to enjoy it?

• How long had I been measuring my worth by my to-do list?


**Here's what I discovered:** There's a huge difference between being busy and being productive. Between motion and progress. Between doing everything and doing what matters.


**The shift changed everything.** I became MORE successful, not less. But more importantly - I got my smile back.


**If you're so focused on achieving that you've forgotten to enjoy the journey, this episode is for you.**


**Comment 😊 if you need this reminder today.**


**What would your loved ones say about YOUR relationship with time?**
