“I don’t have time to pursue my dreams or to even know what my dreams are. I don’t have time for me, for my family and friends. Basically, I don’t have time to live my life.”
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”
- Henry Ford
Passion is the ultimate time management tool for two reasons. First, when you are doing what you love, who cares about time? When you are with someone special or listening to a great piece of music, or painting or volunteering, doesn’t time just fly by? Second, when you are doing what you love it often gets done faster.
The way we spend our time is the way we spend our lives. Can you slow down enough to get “in synch” with life, nature, and most importantly, yourself? Make a date with yourself, every day if possible. Even if for only a half hour, carving out time for you is a great act of generosity. Your work can usually wait a half hour.
Whether we like it or not, the clock keeps ticking! so live fully, every single second of every single day. Learn the true joy of doing less and having more as you experience each day as priceless. Fill your life with as many precious moments and experiences of joy and passion as you can.
Here are a series of steps that you should follow, which I am trying so hard to follow and bring about a balance in my life:
- Make time to Pray
- Make time for Family
- Make time to Rest and Relax
- Make time to Laugh & Smile
- Make time to Exercise
- Make time to experience Life
- Make time to help others
- Make time to do what you Like
- Make time to Read
- Make time to Learn
- Make time to Play
Over time, these strategies will become positive and life-changing habits that will begin to bring more happiness, joy and peace into your life.
