Time is of the essence, realize that!


Stop lamenting, complaining, explaining that you don't have time.

Often we need to remember just to remember to do stuff.... to see people, to do this, or to do that, make a phone call that has already been delayed umpteen times. You get the drift. Why?  Because you do it. You make excuses on why you can't do something just because it makes the guilt a little bit lighter. Right?

There are so many things that get lost in the shuffle of life that are worth doing. We tend to devote time to things/people that are not worth the devotion. It's really meaningless whether we miss "our show", or don't get a chance to sleep that literal extra minute. We set aside time to do nothing but haven't seen our  loved ones in months, sometimes years because we  "don't have time". Well, restructure your time..... Welllllllll heck!... you don't even have to do that much, because everyone has time. It's whether or not you make it a priority.  The president makes time for his family and is he not one of the  busiest individuals currently walking the planet? Take a look at how  you spend your time. How many times a day do you sit down and fiddle with Facebook, play video games, stagnate around the house until you feel like getting up? We waste an awful lot of seconds, minutes, hours, and days just doing nothing where we could be fitting in more meaningful, constructive things.

 So why aren't we doing it?

Do one thing today that you say you can never do because " you don't have time.". In a week or two, tackle another one.  Whether it's a phone call, a visit, some spring cleaning, writing, or starting a new hobby. And stop making the excuses that you can't, you can. You just haven't felt it important enough to do. Be real with yourself and perhaps the guilt will trip you into progress. It'll be a good trip.


Truth be told: For every day you are living  you are dying. Fill the spot on earth that you inhabit  with the people that matter, the things that matter, and fulfilling ventures that mean something.
