"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life." ~ Steve Jobs
So many live their life according to the opinion of others. In fact, very few actually live—they merely exist.
Unfortunately,many make excusesfor what they do or don't do—and one of the greatest excuses we hear is"I don't have time."
Actually,this is somewhat correct… you don't have time—time has you. And time won't compensate for hesitation or procrastination.
In theToltectradition it maintains, that"most never do what's necessary to change until they're backed into a corner with a dagger hanging over their head." While this is graphic, it's profoundly true.
When domost find the time to work out and change their diet?After theirdoctortells them that they're going to have a heart attack.
When domost work on their relationship? When one partner says I've had enough and I'm leaving.
When domost develop a relationship with God, their Creator? When theirlife turns upside down and they feel they need someone to save them.
You see, the reality isyou always find the time to do what you value the most. No exception.
If you"can't find the time" to do something, the truth is you don't value what you're considering doing. It has nothing to do with time.
Most willcruise along business as usual until they need to avoid pain. It's a fact that we do more to avoid pain than to seek pleasure.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
You can always tell whatsomeone truly values by two indicators: 1. Where they spend their time and 2. Where they spend their money.
If someone'scalendar and bank statement is not full of something, you can bet they don't value that something.
It'snot about time management—you have the time. It's about values clarity and self-management.
So,the first questionyou must answer is:what do you truly value? All else flows from there.
