#92 - The Alchemy of Time

“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 excuses for 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 the Toltec tradition 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 do most find the time to work out and change their diet? After their doctor tells them that they’re going to have a heart attack. When do most work on their relationship? When one partner says I’ve had enough and I’m leaving. When do most develop a relationship with God, their Creator? When their life turns upside down and they feel they need someone to save them. You see, the reality is you 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 will cruise 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 what someone truly values by two indicators: 1. Where they spend their time and 2. Where they spend their money. If someone’s calendar and bank statement is not full of something, you can bet they don’t value that something. It’s not about time management—you have the time. It’s about values clarity and self-management. So, the first question you must answer is: what do you truly value? All else flows from there. Connect with us: https://harmonicwealthglobal.com
