You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you have to make it. -Charles Broxton. In other words, we all have the same amount of time. No one gets extra for good behavior. It’s about priority. So how do you set priorities on your time when there is so much to do? Simple but not always easy. It’s not easy because in order to do this, you have to learn how to design your life around what matters most. This takes focus and respecting yourself by not allowing distractions. Sometimes it won’t be met with acceptance by people who have their own agenda for us. This also means learning to say no, putting things on a ‘someday-maybe’ list or simply letting them go: “yes, it’s a good idea but it isn’t a choice that will get me what I want. Step back from it all and look at a bigger picture.
If you want X you have to take actions that are in alignment with X and not with Y and Z as well as A, B, and C. So where do you want to be in a year? Perhaps you want a meaningful relationship, inspiring job that uses your creativity, closer relationship with your family, better health, more travel or at least the finances that would make travel possible. Or maybe you just want to be happier and confident – have more get up and go. Whatever it is you want, you can have. In fact, most of the things you don’t think you have, you already do. (More on that another time.) Here’s my point, what you are doing today is a snapshot of your life. Multiple what you are doing today by 365 and that’s what your life will look like a year from now. See the movie in your mind of your life? Are you liking the movie? If not, make a change – now. Don’t wait.
If you’ve read my book, you’ve heard part of this story. For 20+ years I was haunted by the life I was not living. The life I was not living was my purpose. Yes, your higher self knows why you came here and is always nudging, poking and sometimes pushing you to move forward with WHY you are here. It took me over 20 years to put into action the book inside me that was keeping me up at night. Thank goodness for my book mentor, Neale Donald Walsh (bestselling author of the series, Conversations With God) who challenge me to challenge myself to get it done in 5 months AND still do my health coaching work.
So my first Volume in the series, “BEing Spiritually Intelligent: Who You Are & Who You Were Meant To BE” was released in the fall of 2013. I made it work, and my life changed instantly. I let go of resistance, learned a new way to prioritize my time and I did the work. It was a feeling of relief. A letting go of resistance is always that way. And I’ve never looked back.
I’m on a mission to help as many people as I can design their life around what matters most by first stepping into resistance, and one step at a time reCreating themselves. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0988720701/
My newest vision is to create a healthy community with a team of like-minded, like-spirited and like-hearted souls to support one another for at least 6 weeks. If you would you like to help me do it and be involved, watch this 3-minute video and then enroll.
