Wasting Time
March 18th 2008 22:54
I am reading the book "Basic Black" by Cathie Black, President of Hearst Magazines, and I cannot put it down. Each page inspires me to become the person I have always wanted and dreamed of becoming, and yet never have.
In life we are faced with many challenges that can derail us from our original path. Some challenges are large, such as job loss, death of a loved one, or a painful relationship. However, most of the challenges that we face are the small, seemingly insignificant things that seem to come up daily. As we struggle through these small challenges, we are robbed of our most precious comodity: time. Time is something that once lost, or wasted on something trivial, cannot be regained. When we waste time on the small things we can never find the time to accomplish the big things. Small things in life could be as simple as watching too much television, chit-chatting about nonsense with friends, or anything that eats away at our day. We must budget our time wisely so that we can accomplish our dreams. How many times have we said to ourselves, "I wish I could do that, but I just dont have the time!" Where does all of our time go? Is it wasted working a dead end job that we hate which leaves us too drained at the end of the day to do anything but zone out in front of the TV? Is it wasted on putting the needs of everyone around us before our own, leaving us with no energy for ourselves. Is it wasted on meaningless activities that, while enjoyable, do not bring us any closer to our dreams?
I challenge you, as I am challenging myself, to take a close look at where all of your time is being spent. When you find yourself saying..."I have no time to accomplish my dreams" it may be time to reevaluate your priorites. You MAKE time for what is important to you, so dust off those dreams and make them your number one priority. Don't waste another minute wasting time.
