So how did you do with the quiz?
Now if you answered all the questions correctly - congratulations! You have just
demonstrated to yourself that you have the necessary intellect and awareness
required to master your own time!
If you answered any of the questions incorrectly - it's ok. Don't beat yourself up
about it. Just re-sit the test before continuing the article!
The point is, we are all given the same 24 hours a day.
One of the most important things to recognize about time is that each of us has
been given the same 24 hours a day to work with. It doesn't matter if you are one
of the world's greatest leaders or just a busy mom, your time allocation remains
the same.
Great people do great things in life not because they have more hours than the
rest of us but because they put their time to good use. Your success in life
therefore depends not on how many hours you have available each day but on
how you personally choose to use your time. You’ll always have enough time to
create an extraordinary life, should you choose to.
But I really don't have enough time!
Whenever you hear yourself say that you don't have enough time, what you are
really saying is that you have “chosen” to do something else with your time. How
you spend your time is entirely your choice. The big question is, are you making
the choices that will provide you with the maximum amount of health, peace and
happiness?
Where are you wasting time?
If you want to become a master of your time one of the first things you need to do
is work out where you are currently wasting time. Are you spending too much time
browsing the Internet or watching TV? If you are, then you have to do something
about it. Nothing will change unless you do.
Try giving up the Internet for a month (with the exception of visiting HoustonSAHM.
com of course), selling your TV or volunteering your time to a cause you feel
passionate about. You'll soon be amazed at what else is possible for your life!
You can't make time!
It's important to understand that you can't make time, you can't find time, and you
certainly can't buy time. Time just is as it is.
The issue is never about having enough time, but what you choose to do with your
time. There is always enough time to do the things that you want to do. You just
have to be committed to doing them.
