I’m back…Excited to talk with you today about Your Time...Your Direction...Your Focus...Ultimately, Your Life. Quote of the day: "He who knows he has enough is rich"….Loa-tzu I have always had mixed emotions about this quote because I felt it meant to settle… But the more I contemplate this quote, the more I understand it… It's been said that the secret to Happiness is NOT “having what you want” but “wanting what you have”. I believe that if we enter a constant state (as ed mylett would say) of Blissful Dissatisfaction, then we are not saying we are content with our current state…we are happy and grateful for what we have while simultaneously pursuing a better version of our selves and a better life. I don't mean better as in more money, fame, recognition, etc (although you may have as much of that you as desire in life too). I mean having a better life of happiness, fulfillment, helping others, and yes success and prosperity. Anyway…there is more to these daily quotes than lies on the surface if you will think about them each day and use them to better your life. So, Today’s topic is on Time…. We talk a lot about wealth, but sometime we forget that our Time is the Greatest Asset we have. We forget that regardless of how much money, talent or opportunity you have, we all have 24 hours in a day. But, It's is how you spend your asset of time that matters the most. How are you spending your TIME? Are you investing your time or are you wasting it? Are you taking your “free time” and wasting it on “rest, netflix, catching up on sleep, and other thing that rob you of the dreams you have in life?” Remember the quote a few days ago..”laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired”…I think we convince ourselves (program ourselves) to think we need rest when what we really need is to achieve Growth, our Dreams, and Fulfill our Purpose... Time is the great equalizer in the world of Success, Prosperity and Happiness. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. I know what you are thinking and what is coming up for you in your head right now... -I have job or two or three that take my whole day -I have kids, family and responsibilities others don't have -I wasn’t given the same environment, opportunities, and things others have -I am not as skilled or talented as the next person Excuse, Excuse, Excuse….Yes, there are some people and situations that are different or have a bit of an advantage, but how You view your circumstances determines your outcome. Wayne Dyer says, “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” I believe this without a doubt… So, you can either choose to believe that you are overwhelmed, overloaded, stressed and under the gun or you can choose to accept your situation and level up… I listen to Lisa Nichols give a great speech about time and she stated some numbers that I think you might benefit from thinking about… We all have 24 hours in a day 7 days a week to start each week with… That is 168 hours…168 hours…think about that. Start from solution not the problem. Don’t start with, “I have a couple hours after I get home from work or only time on the weekend”. Start from the source of your assets… If you work a 40 hour job and you sleep 8 hours a night (56), that is 96 hours total… What are you doing with the other 72 hours per week? think about that…. What are you doing with the other 8-10 hours per day?? Sure there are kids, second jobs, and many other true priorities in life… so lets deduct 4 hours a day for family and 4 hours a day for your side hustle and/or 2nd job… That still leaves a couple hours a day… Do your realize how much you could do with an extra 1 hour per day put toward your Goal and Dreams…??? But where do most of us spend our time: -facebook and instagram -tick tock -surfing the web -online shopping *when was the last time you looked at your screen time? look at it…. Let’s really understand where we are investing our
