Over the years Mariam had become a workaholic. She was continually busy, doing little things and fretting - she felt the need to be continually busy.
The Rabbi told her, "These are the external manifestations of a tormented spirit."
And indeed, years later, when an older and wiser Mariam reflected on the Master's Words, she came to realisation.
At that time she had been facing the necessity of making a difficult decision which would change her life path forever.
Becoming unnecessarily busy had unconsciously given her the outlet she needed at the time in order for her to pour forth the inner anxious energy she was experiencing.
The anxiety had been due to her putting off the decision.
Delaying necessary decisions today may lead to anxiety and insomnia tomorrow.
Mariam smiled.. How glad she was that she had eventually found the strength within herself to face the difficult decision.
The decision, once made, had brought her peace.
