We Have More
Than Enough Time if We Organize What We Want to do with it
“We have more than
enough time to do an enormous amount of good in our lives, if we use the time
we have.” -Benjamin Hardy
The
most common excuse people will often make is, “I don’t have enough time.”
But
the issue isn’t actually about a lack of time, rather, it’s about a lack of understanding and proper organization of time.
We
have been taught that it’s okay to justify a lack of progress with classical
sayings like, “you can only do so much in a day,” and “time flies.”
But
the last time I checked, time doesn’t fly, and everyone lives by the same 24
hours. Why is it then that some people are able to accomplish so much more than
others?
Why? Because they
live by their priorities and do only that which is most important.
Or
as Gary Keller put it in his book, The
ONE Thing,
“They go small…
“Going small” is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should
do.”
What
is most important to you? In which areas do you want to achieve the most
success? Prioritize these areas rather than doing the 1000’s of other things
you could do, because being “busy” is not the same as being productive.
In Conclusion
Grant
Cardone said that one of the greatest turning points in his life occurred when
he “stopped casually waiting for success and instead started to approach it
as a duty, obligation, and responsibility.”
The
various principals discussed in this article are the things I’ve done to
develop this same mindset in myself and I hope they can do the same for you.
Removing
excuses from your life is a matter of making your dreams more powerful than
those excuses. Making your goals and dreams emotional by making committed
decisions and journalling can certainly help.
Time
is not a limiting factor. We have more than enough time to accomplish the
things we want if we focus on what should be done, rather than what could
be done.
