When I was a child
(many, many seasons ago), I had never considered the importance of
time. I would spend (waste) my time, watching TV, lying in bed, and
playing
games. When I grew up, I thought about the things that I had
achieved and to my surprise, I hadn’t accomplished very much.
I decided that I wanted to do things that would help
mankind. I examined my past and learned a lot of lessons from my
experience. I lacked self-confidence before, so I wanted to help
other people overcome this hurdle.
I urge you to decide
RIGHT
NOW to use your time wisely. It may be volunteering,
increasing your education, or spiritual endeavors. Create a goal
and go for
it!
Don't be a couch potato. Don't just sit around and
be happy with the way things are, challenge yourself.
Do something nice, use your natural gifts, and give it
your best effort. Your reward will be a deep sense of happiness and
satisfaction.
Some people don’t feel that they have the time for
goals. They have to go to their 9 to 5 job, then when they go
home they feel so tired all they can think about is watch TV, relax,
and sleep. You will feel much better physically and emotionally
if you invest this time in something worthwhile.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t have recreational time.
In fact, everyone should take time out once in a while to recharge and
revitalize their energy. The key is to have a balanced
life. Find time for your dreams and ambitions. Reserve some
time to establish and grow healthy relationships.
Ok, I hear you. You're saying that you really just
can't budget your time?
Don't panic. Here are some time
management tips.
1) When possible, do
more than one thing at the same time.
Exercise while watching your favorite TV show.
Listen to educational tapes while waiting for the bus.
