"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly
the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller,
Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas
Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Good
morning!
I have a
confession. I have used the excuse, "I just don't have enough time," in
my life. I even said it recently when I was discussing why I was
not spending more time painting. When I saw this quote I
thought--whoa... reality check! When I say I "don't have enough time,"
it is really a copout for not knowing where to begin or not being
passionate enough about the task at hand.
Excluding
serious or terminal health ailments, one thing is constant -- we all
have the same amount of time per day. We can choose to make the day
matter, or we can choose to let the day go by--its potential
unrealized.
This quote
helped me to realize that I don't have a lack of time. I have the same
amount of time as some of the world's geniuses. It is a matter of
learning to work with the clock, instead of against it that matters the
most.
