Good morning!
Debbie personally knew the
author of this quote who seems to be one of the rare people who doesn't
fritter away time. Debbie shared that, "Pete went to high school with
my daughter. He read leadership books as a hobby, served as
president of a ton of organizations, was a National Merit semi-finalist
and went on to my Alma Mater, the University of Illinois. While
there, he continued to assume leadership roles and was frustrated by
the lack of leadership books aimed towards students. He ended up
writing a book himself and having it published before his college
graduation."
Like Debbie, I am struck by
the sentence--"Perhaps the greatest enigma of time is that nobody has
enough of it, yet we almost always succeed in wasting it."
Almost daily I hear complaints
of people running out of time or not having enough time. Yet Pete is
right, we still manage to fritter time away versus managing it as the
asset it is. This isn't to say that we should be working around the
clock or goal-chasing every hour of every day, but we should make sure
we are spending our time in alignment with our personal priorities.
When we spend out time more wisely, we release ourselves from the
"never enough time" trap. Your Turn: Where you have been letting time escape that doesn't align with your priorities? What can you do to change that this week? Your Affirmation: I value and spend my time wisely. And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!" And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter? | |||||||
